Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) University Program Workshop

The Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy held a workshop for universities on August 19-20, 2008, at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel in Maryland. The workshop provided U.S. universities the opportunity to understand the new Nuclear Energy University Program for FY 2009 and become familiar with the current research and development work of the various programs of NE.

Round table discussions provided ample opportunity for questions and constructive dialogue on the research requirements for the Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems Initiative, the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative, the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative, the LWR Materials Aging and Degradation, and the Pu-238 Production programs.
