Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.
Advances in Nuclear Nonproliferation Technology and Policy Conference (ANTPC 2023)
Technical Session|Panel
Tuesday, November 14, 2023|3:15–5:00PM EST|Lincoln West
Session Chair:
Virginia Kerr (DOE/NNSA)
Alternate Chair:
Bego Aranguren (DOE/NNSA)
International nuclear safeguards are a key pillar of nonproliferation policy in the United States of America. The nonproliferation mission of the National Nuclear Security Administration/Department of Energy (NNSA/DOE) depends on a highly skilled, technically focused, and adaptive workforce. The Human Capital Development (HCD) program in the Office of International Nuclear Safeguards at the NNSA/DOE recognizes the need for highly skilled scientific and policy expertise to meet the enduring mission of international nuclear safeguards. Over a decade, the program has cultivated a set of best practices to recruit, train, and retain a skilled workforce of safeguards professionals through university outreach, fellowship programs, and professional exchanges across the NNSA laboratory complex. This abstract will share the successes and challenges of recruitment and retention in the HCD program in detail.
