The Nuclear Engineering (NE) Division is one of the divisions within the Energy
Engineering and Systems Analysis Directorate of Argonne National Laboratory. Our mission is to advance
the design and operation of nuclear energy systems and to apply our nuclear energy-related expertise
to current and emerging programs of national and international significance. |
The NE Division participates in key DOE Nuclear Energy programs such as the Fuel Cycle Research and Development Program, the Generation IV Initiative, and the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative. We also have major roles in nonproliferation and national security programs conducted by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and other agencies. |
Division personnel additionally contribute to improving the operation of existing nuclear energy systems
and to resolving issues related to their performance and safety. We have a key role in advancing major
Laboratory initiatives in such diverse areas as transportation, hydrogen generation and computational
science. Finally, we contribute engineering expertise to the design, operation and decommissioning
of major facilities at Argonne and elsewhere. |
