DOE'S NUKE ENERGY ROADMAP HEAVY ON R&D, LIGHT ON DEMONSTRATION

摘要

The Department of Energy has delivered its nuclear energy research and development plan to Congressional appropri-ators at long last, highlighting the Office of Nuclear Energy's long-range nuclear research and development plans in four main areas. The plan, the Nuclear Energy Research and Development Roadmap, outlines an R&D program that stretches out to 2040 and beyond, but heavily emphasizes the importance of nuclear industry investment and cost-matching for more short-term demonstration and deployment projects to benefit nuclear power.
