Agencies
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Description
The program provides funding to support research and development (R&D) for nuclear science, engineering, technology, and related disciplines to develop a workforce capable of supporting the design, construction, operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear materials. University R&D activities provide an opportunity to complement current, ongoing NRC-led research.
More specifically, the program shall be used to provide financial assistance for R&D projects relevant to the programmatic mission of the NRC referenced above, with an emphasis on providing financial assistance with respect to research, development, demonstration, and commercial application of new and advanced nuclear technologies. New this year, non-technical research will be considered under this announcement (for example, projects that would foster the development of innovative community engagement strategies, including incorporation of principles of equity and environmental justice).
The NRC invites R&D projects that complement its current research portfolio and that help the NRC prepare for upcoming challenges. A summary of NRC planned research activities can be found at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/research/activities.html in the FY22-24 Research Prospectus. The NRC seeks projects that provide a variety of direct and indirect, near- and longer-term benefits. These benefits include:
• Identification and closure of potentially important technical gaps ahead of regulatory needs,
• Heightened awareness and knowledge of key advanced technology developments being pursued outside of NRC, and
• Improved foundational knowledge on key topics of future regulatory interest.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Application of wireless communications, drones, robotics, and autonomous control in operations and maintenance activities;
• Digital engineering/analytics, advanced sensors, and digital instrumentation/controls at nuclear facilities;
• Evaluation of technical gaps and major uncertainties in assessing risk for operating, new and advanced reactors (e.g., modeling of complex dependencies, advanced calculation techniques, multi-unit and multi-moule risk, application of risk techniques to radiological consequence analysis, development of improved risk metrics);
• Human and organizational factors and human reliability analysis for advanced nuclear applications, (e.g., improved models for dependency, consideration of organizational factors, dynamic methods, and risk analysis).
• Characterization of fire hazards in new reactor designs (e.g., sodium) and post-fire safe shutdown capability;
• Characterization of natural hazards including but not limited to flooding, high winds, hurricanes, wildfires, climate change;
