This article is reproduced from excerpts from the Report of the Basic Energy Sciences Workshop on Basic Research Needs for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems, U.S. Department of Energy, October 2006, www.sc.doe. gov/bes/reports/files/ANES_rpt.pdf. The Department of Energy (DOE) Workshop on Basic Research Needs for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems was convened in July 2006 to identify new, emerging, and scientifically challenging areas in materials and chemical sciences that have the potential for significant impact on advanced nuclear energy systems. Sponsored by the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), the workshop provided recommendations for priority research directions and cross-cutting research themes that underpin the development of advanced materials, fuels, waste forms, and separations technologies for the effective utilization of nuclear power. A total of 235 experts from 31 universities, 11 national laboratories, six industries, three government agencies, and 11 countries attended.
