60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

This panel will explore how effective collaborations among government agencies, national labs, universities, industry, and stakeholders are essential to advancing nuclear waste management. We’ll present examples of how these partnerships contribute to deploying innovative technologies and methodologies, including in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Environmental Management (USDOE EM) efforts to address Cold War and Manhattan Project nuclear legacy waste. The discussion will focus on how these collaborations enhance safety, reduce costs, ensure reliable remediation, benefit the environment, develop sustainable infrastructure, and assist in deploying technologies beyond nuclear waste management. The panel will also address the gaps that still need to be overcome.
