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.
Advances in Nuclear Nonproliferation Technology and Policy Conference (ANTPC 2023)

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.
