This NOFO will provide direct assistance for advanced reactor and supporting facilities regulatory review activities to enable advanced nuclear reactors to be demonstrated and deployed in support of the critical energy needs of the future. Advanced nuclear reactors will further the state of the U.S. commercial nuclear capability by improving the competitiveness of nuclear power and promoting its continued contribution to meeting our Nation’s economic and energy security needs and overcoming environmental challenges. Projects awarded through this NOFO will support the revitalization and expansion of the U.S. nuclear industry by encouraging growth of a pipeline for advanced reactors and supporting infrastructure through the reduction of regulatory uncertainties.
Through this NOFO, DOE will pay a portion of NRC fees for two topic areas:
Topic Area 1 – Pre-application Review Activities
Topic Area 2 – Application Review Activities
