1 Introduction
The primary mission of the Department of Energy’s (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 as appropriate.
NE’s program is guided by the four research objectives detailed in its Nuclear Energy Research
and Development Roadmap:
 Develop technologies and other solutions that can improve the reliability, sustain the
safety, and extend the life of current reactors.
 Develop improvements in the affordability of new reactors to enable nuclear energy to
help meet the Administration’s energy security and climate change goals.
 Develop sustainable fuel cycles.
 Understand and minimize the risks of nuclear proliferation and terrorism.
