Letters of support from collaborators should be included in the application.
Grant Description: Since 1999, the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI) program has sponsored research to advance the state of nuclear science and technology in the United States by addressing the key technical issues impacting the expanded use of nuclear energy. The program has sponsored research and development on next-generation nuclear energy systems; proliferation resistant nuclear fuel cycle technologies; generation of hydrogen using nuclear power; improvements in light water reactor technology; and fundamental areas of nuclear science that directly impact the long-term success of nuclear energy. The advances in these areas are expected to be incorporated in potential future advanced reactor designs and nuclear fuel systems. The NERI program has realized its goal of developing advanced nuclear energy systems and technology to help assure that the United States maintains a viable option to use nuclear energy to meet its energy and environmental needs. The research effort, conducted by the Nation?s universities, laboratories, and industries, has helped maintain the nuclear research infrastructure in this country and has focused attention on the United States as a nuclear research and development leader. This announcement, which is open to all U.S. universities, provides an opportunity for universities to participate in these research initiatives. The NERI R D projects will be selected using a competitive, peer-reviewed process. Funding for the NERI awards is provided by the AFCI, Generation IV, and NHI programs.
