The Office of Nuclear Energys (NE) mission is to advance nuclear energy science and technology to meet U.S. energy, environmental, and economic needs. NE has identified the following goals to address challenges in the nuclear energy sector, help realize the potential of advanced technology, and leverage the unique role of the government in spurring innovation: Keep existing U.S. nuclear reactors operating. Deploy new nuclear reactors. Secure and sustain our nuclear fuel cycle. Expand international nuclear energy cooperation. Collectively, all NE-sponsored activities support the Departments priorities to combat the climate crisis, create clean energy jobs with the free and fair chance to join a union and bargain collectively, and promote equity and environmental justice by delivering innovative clean energy technologies for nuclear energy systems. The development of nuclear energy-related infrastructure and basic capabilities in the research community is necessary to promote Research and Development (R) that supports nuclear science and engineering (NS), NEs mission, and the nations nuclear energy challenges. Accordingly, the Department of Energy (DOE) intends to facilitate the education and training of nuclear scientists, engineers, and policymakers through graduate and undergraduate study, two-year programs, and R that is relevant to the Department and the U.S. nuclear energy industry in general.
