Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission lead Darío Gil participated in a session at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference on March 17 that coincided with the announcement of the DOE’s $293 million Genesis Mission request for applications, which invites interdisciplinary teams to submit ideas for projects addressing over 20 of Genesis’s stated national challenges, several of which focus on accelerating nuclear research and nuclear energy output.
“We seek breakthrough ideas and novel collaborations leveraging the scientific prowess of our national laboratories, the private sector, universities, and science philanthropies,” said Gil.

The historic approach for nuclear fuels and materials qualification spanned decades. With the recent rise in the interest in developing and commercializing advanced nuclear reactor designs, rapid evaluation, qualification, and licensing of nuclear materials becomes essential to their success. This panel brings together representatives from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), industry, standard bodies (e.g., American Society of Mechanical Engineers [ASME]), Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) and Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) to reach a consensus on what approach should be used to transform and accelerate nuclear materials development.
