DOE’s Marla Morales talks with ANS’s Craig Piercy
A recent American Nuclear Society webinar featured an extended one-on-one conversation between ANS CEO Craig Piercy and Marla Morales, the acting deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and high-level waste disposition at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy. The two discussed the future of the fuel cycle in the United States, especially as it relates to the Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses program launched by the DOE earlier this year.

The continued development of science, engineering, and technology to support nonproliferation policy is instrumental in allowing states to verify compliance with nonproliferation treaties, providing effective and efficient ways to implement domestic and international nuclear safeguards, and preventing non-state actors from developing nuclear weapons or acquiring weapons-usable nuclear or radiological material, equipment, technology, and expertise. This technical session will focus on new research that supports different aspects of nonproliferation policy.
