Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

Session Chair:
Evan Gonzalez (Lawrence Livermore National Lab)
Panelists for this session will share their perspectives on the state of environmental justice efforts in nuclear siting. With representation from a range of viewpoints (academic researchers, government agencies, think tanks, and affected peoples), we hope to provide various frames of our industry’s progress towards enabling just and equitable nuclear facility siting. Along the way, we will be asking the questions: What does an environmentally-just siting process look like? What strategies are working towards getting us there? How do we know we’re making progress? Where are our biggest gaps as nuclear professionals?
