1 Introduction
The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) is to
advance nuclear power as a resource capable of meeting the Nation’s energy, environmental and
national security needs by resolving technical, cost, safety, proliferation resistance, and security
barriers through research, development and demonstration (RD&D). NE’s RD&D activities help
resolve technical challenges thus enabling the deployment of new reactor and fuel cycle
technologies that will support the current fleet of reactors and facilitate the construction of new
plants.
Developing and maintaining a national RD&D framework to achieve NE’s mission requires an
integrated approach involving people, tools, facilities, and knowledge tied to strategic
partnerships. Experimental infrastructure (i.e. tools and facilities) is a critical piece of this
framework.
