Nuclear Material Management Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies how to manage nuclear materials safely and designs the next generation of nuclear energy systems.
AboutAbout the lab
Managing nuclear materials safely and shaping the future of nuclear energy.
The Nuclear Material Management Lab develops innovative nuclear energy systems that excel in proliferation resistance and conservation of nuclear fuel resources, studies energy policy and energy security, and works on advancing nuclear fuel transport, safeguards, and nuclear security.
Through running the institute's Nuclear Fuel Management Office, the lab also takes on a wide range of practical work related to the safe management of nuclear materials, including regulatory guidance on the receipt, use, and storage of nuclear materials, education and training in their handling, and cooperation with international inspections.
