Abstract and subjects
The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) is a program funded by the DOE that seeks to develop worldwide consensus on enabling expanded use of economical, carbon-free nuclear energy and to build recycling technologies that enhance energy security in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, while simultaneously mitigating proliferation concerns. The envisioned fuel cycle will require advanced fast reactors, nuclear recycling facilities and enhanced safeguards technology. Reducing uncertainties in the nuclear data is one component of the GNEP R&D strategy.
