The National Nuclear Security Administration's Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation initiated the Nonproliferation Stewardship Program (NSP) in 2020 to provide an enduring pipeline of nonproliferation subject matter experts to the DOE/NNSA laboratories. This program provides nonproliferation-relevant science & technology opportunities through modernized facility infrastructure. This session provides an overview of the NSP, highlights on-going efforts in uranium and plutonium processing and describes examples of hands-on experimental work and associated modeling and simulation.
