The Department of Energy (DOE) promotes nuclear energy as a resource capable of meeting the nation's energy, environmental, and national security needs by resolving technical, cost, safety, security, and proliferation resistance through research, development and demonstration at our national laboratories, universities and colleges, and U.S. industry. Our financial assistance programs play a key role in helping the DOE accomplish its mission of leading the nation's investment in the development and exploration of advanced nuclear technology and its underlying sciences. With this financial assistance, DOE strives to stimulate nuclear science and engineering education through support of advanced research and by training the next generation nuclear energy workforce, while seeking to align the nuclear energy research being conducted at U.S. colleges and universities with DOE’s mission and goals.

DOE awarded more than $24 million through the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) to support 37 university-led nuclear energy research and development projects in approximately 22 states. Additionally, 18 university-led projects received more than $5.2 million for research reactor and infrastructure improvements. 7 universities received almost $25 million for integrated research projects. DOE selected 2 universities, 1 national laboratory, and 1 industry-led projects that will take advantage of NSUF capabilities. DOE will support 2 of these projects with a total just over $1.5 million in research funds. All 4 of these projects will be supported by just over $2 million in facility access costs and expertise for experimental neutron and ion irradiation testing, post-irradiation examination facilities, synchrotron beamline capabilities, and technical assistance for design and analysis of experiments through NSUF. DOE also selected 5 universities for distinguished early career program to receive more than $3 million to support high potential early career faculty. Through the Integrated University Program (IUP), the DOE awarded more than $5 million for 65 undergraduate scholarships and 28 graduate fellowships to students pursuing nuclear energy-related disciplines at universities across the country. With this year’s awards, the Office of Nuclear Energy has now awarded more than $870 million to continue American leadership in clean energy innovation and to train the next generation of nuclear engineers and scientists through its university programs since 2009.

Over $44,000,000 were awarded to universities supporting the Nuclear Energy University Program.
