NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

Session Chair:
Drew Thomas (DOE Nuclear Energy External Innovation Integration Office, Idaho National Laboratory)
In fiscal year 2024, DOE Office of Nuclear Energy’s NEUP and UNLP programs recently exceeded $1 billion dollars in university-led nuclear energy related research and development, infrastructure support, and student programs. This session will highlight the impact these programs have had since 2009 through two panel discussions. The first discussion will focus on the growth of nuclear engineering departments, emphases, and concentrations during this time period and the resurgence of nuclear energy related education across the United States. The second panel will focus on exceptional research and development activities, student mentorship, and research pathways that have emerged as a result of the NEUP and UNLP programs.
This panel highlights growth and resurgence of nuclear engineering departments in the United States. Panelists, representing universities from across the U.S. will reflect on circumstances before the NEUP program was established, the pathway that their own universities have taken to grow their departments, programs, and student recruitment efforts, and address continuing initiatives and challenges for future growth of nuclear engineering education and workforce pathways.
Facilitator: John Gilligan
The second panel invites those who have had notable research and student outcomes as part of the NEUP program. This panel allows the audience to learn about the research, mentorship, pathways, and innovative thinking that has helped these faculty drive high impact research that contributes to the Office of Nuclear Energy’s mission.
