The tenth meeting of the Committee on Merits and Viability of Different Nuclear Fuel Cycles and Technology Options and the Waste Aspects of Advanced Nuclear Reactors will hear from experts on Generation IV and sodium fast-cooled reactors, aqueous separations, back-end fuel cycle issues, waste management and treatment, and a panel of utility executives. The committee welcomes input

The Transportation Research Board will meet on 29 September 2021 in a closed session. This NASEM committee will review plans and activities to inform government and industry decisions about the transportation of liquefied natural gas by rail and consider ways to ensure the continued safety of these shipments over the longer-term. The committee's review will

High energy density (HED) physics has critical applications in areas such as inertial confinement fusion and the stewardship of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. The Committee on the Assessment of High Energy Density (HED) Science is hosting panels to collect input during an open-session, along with closed-sessions to deliberate on process, input gathering, and writing.

Nuclear reactors can provide low-carbon energy, and advanced nuclear technologies could play an important role in moving the United States towards a zero-carbon future. Next-generation nuclear reactors have the potential to be smaller, safer, less expensive to build, and better integrated with the modern grid. However, the technical, economic, and regulatory outlook for these technologies
