Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

The CASL Education Program was established to ensure that CASL results and technology were integrated into undergraduate and graduate curricula, and support the transfer of CASL technology to industry users. Programs developed to support this goal include undergraduate research opportunities, summer internships, development of new courses at constituent Universities and establishment of the CASL Institute. Panel members include faculty members from CASL partner Universities (NCSU, MIT, and UM), industry and former students that participated in activities sponsored by the Education Program. Presentations will summarize the history and evolution of the Education Program and its major contributions. Individual panel members will provide their unique experiences/perspectives associated with the program, followed by questions and discussion.
