Details:
The primary mission of the Nuclear Energy (NE) program is to advance nuclear power as a resource capable of contributing toward the nation’s energy supply, environmental, and national security needs. To ensure that nuclear energy remains a viable energy option for the nation, NE supports research, development, and demonstration activities, when appropriate, designed to resolve the technical, cost, safety, waste management, proliferation resistance, and security challenges of increased use of nuclear energy. NE leads the federal research effort to develop nuclear energy technologies, including generation, safety, waste storage and management, and security technologies to help meet energy security, proliferation resistance, and climate goals.
One of the primary missions of NE is to maintain the current nuclear fleet, develop and deploy advanced nuclear reactor technologies, and tackle spent nuclear fuel storage. With this in mind, NE is seeking partners to help the office advance these endeavors. With an emphasis on environmental justice, these partners work with local energy communities, educational entities, and other constituencies to find opportunities to accomplish the shared mission of utilizing nuclear energy to advance national and international energy, environmental, and economic needs.
The Office of Nuclear Energy will actively communicate and engage with communities with vested interest in the goals of the office. These communities have a unique perspective vital to developing nuclear energy projects and to completing other office priorities. The Office of Nuclear Energy will work with partners to connect and interact with underserved communities that could benefit from nuclear energy projects to ensure that the growth produced by clean energy projects is equitably delivered to all.
