ARPA-E announces $40 million to develop transmutation technologies for UNF
The Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) announced $40 million in funding to develop cutting-edge technologies to enable the transmutation of used nuclear fuel into less-radioactive substances. According to ARPA-E, the new initiative addresses one of the agency’s core goals as outlined by Congress: to provide transformative solutions to improve the management, cleanup, and disposal of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.
The Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee designates nearly $10,000 of NEED funds each year to provide travel assistance to ANS student members who identify with underrepresented and historically excluded groups.
Here are just a few stories from student members we were able to help in the past couple of years:

administration, direct exposure to the current developments within the nuclear community is invaluable for informing my research on the current state of curriculum development in nuclear programs — ensuring that learning outcomes are applicable and consistent — and providing a broader network for collaboration and engagement. Dedicated to a life in academia, my aspiration of achieving a professorship position within the field is firmly established and resolute, now more than ever before. These experiences continue to embolden me to not let my disability define my capabilities or future potential — in keeping with my continuous growth mindset, personal initiative, and leadership mentality.
By awarding me the DIA Travel Grant, I was better able to concentrate on the professional development aspects of the conference and to endeavor to become a more active member of the nuclear community. Thank you again for investing in my future through the continued support. If there are any future opportunities to get involved or contribute to ANS in a greater capacity, please be sure to keep me in mind — it would be absolute pleasure for me to further support our wonderful society and represent the visual impairment community!
