  • Modeling-Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration (MEITNER) Overview
    Modeling-Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration (MEITNER) Overview B. PROGRAM OVERVIEW 1. Summary Nuclear reactor plants are complex systems where many types and scales of technologies must work together seamlessly. Design choices at each of those scales and for each of those technologies impact the rest of the system in terms of functionality, cost, and constructability. For nuclear energy to contribute in the coming decades, the next generation of nuclear reactor plants need to simultaneously achieve “walkaway” safe and secure operation, extremely low construction capital costs, and dramatically shorter construction and commissioning times than currently-available plants. To attain these goals, new, innovative, enabling technologies for existing advanced reactor designs are needed. The development of these enabling technologies requires understanding the inter-relatedness of design choices. Thus, ARPA-E encourages a rethinking of how pieces of the nuclear reactor system fit together when developing these enabling technologies. Through the MEITNER1 (Modeling-Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration) program, ARPA-E seeks to identify and develop innovative technologies to enable the advanced nuclear reactor design community to mature their designs for future commercial deployment. These enabling technologies can establish the basis for a modern, domestic supply chain supporting nuclear technology. As provided in this FOA, ARPA-E will select multiple Awardees (Prime Recipients) to develop

  • NSW 2020 International Impact Report FINAL
    2020 INTERNATIONAL IMPACT REPORT NUCLEAR SCIENCE WEEK 2020 October 19-23, 2020 www.nuclearscienceweek.orG report issued February 28, 2021 About tHis Report: This report represents a compendium of the many hours of effort that has gone into a remarkable public outreach effort to disseminate current, accurate information about nuclear science, it’s impact on our world and its history during the observance of Nuclear 1 Science Week in 2020. As we know, the year of 2020 was deeply impacted by the pandemic of Covid-19 or Coronavirus. This devastating health crises has changed much of how public interaction occurs world-wide from planning meetings and events to receptions, seminars and classroom visitation and site tours. All of these changes required nimble planning and incredible ingenuity from the places where nuclear science is discussed and where work in the field takes place. Almost all of the events held in celebration and observance in 2020 were done remotely this past year to keep every participant safe and to limit direct interaction against the spread of Corona Virus. This International Impact Report has been developed to record the many places where Nuclear Science Week was observed, the groups that participated and organized these events; and the numbers of people, mostly members of the public, that participated. The year 2020 represents the eleventh anniversary of this event and annual time that NSW has been observed and the scale of it as a week for public discourse and learning continues to grow as evidenced by this report of impact. It is hoped that this report will be used to record interactions, entice larger groups to engage, to encourage more discussion, to transmit more knowledge and excite more students about nuclear science and related STEM fields as potential future career pathways.

  • Prevent, Counter, and Respond—A Strategic Plan to Reduce Global Nuclear Threats
    Prevent, Counter, and Respond—A Strategic Plan to Reduce Global Nuclear Threats FY 2018–FY 2022 Report to Congress November 2017 National Nuclear Security Administration United States Department of Energy Washington, DC 20585 Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration | November 2017 Message from the Administrator The Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Fiscal Year 2018 report, Prevent, Counter, and Respond—A Strategic Plan to Reduce Global Nuclear Threats, outlines DOE/NNSA’s plans and programs to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons, counter the threat of nuclear terrorism, and respond to nuclear and radiological incidents around the world. The report is a companion to the Fiscal Year 2018 Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan, which describes DOE/NNSA’s activities to ensure the reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile and maintain its foundational capabilities and infrastructure. In keeping with our commitment to transparency, updated versions of these reports are published each year. Maintaining the U.S. nuclear stockpile and reducing global nuclear threats—two missions that are often thought to involve different technical expertise and pursue disparate goals—are far more interconnected than they may appear. Many activities within these two DOE/NNSA mission pillars are mutually reinforcing and supportive of common objectives. The facilities and scientific knowledge that underpin stockpile stewardship, for example, are harnessed for a range of nonproliferation and counterterrorism missions, from assessing foreign weapons programs and potential terrorist devices to managing the proliferation risks posed by civil nuclear applications. Preventing the spread of nuclear weapons around the world yields considerable benefits for the U.S.
