Fuel Cycle Policy
A renewed interest in advanced nuclear fuel cycles aims to address societal concerns of the waste management, resource availability, and the risk of nuclear proliferation. Nevertheless, a compelling political case for pursuing advanced nuclear fuel cycles has not emerged. This research aims to identify what combination of technology, policy and diplomacy will create a compelling case for advanced nuclear fuel cycles.

System Design & Analysis
To identify the priorities in the development of new modeling and simulation tools, we regularly engage in analysis of real-world systems. Beyond test problems for code validation, these analyses have real engineering deliverables and help us identify bottlenecks in the accuracy and usability of these tools.
