Highlights the criteria for assessment of nuclear sites, including health, safety, security, engineering, and socioeconomic factors.
Among other historical nuclear standards, EPRI-URD has produced a 2014 technical design standard for small modular light water reactors.
World Nuclear Association also convenes a working group to promote a worldwide nuclear regulatory environment where internationally accepted standardized reactor designs can be widely deployed.
Multiple domestic advanced nuclear technology projects funded by DOE, totaling $195 million.
In 2017, DOE announced nearly $67 million in grants awarded towards advanced nuclear energy research from a series of funding programs.
Seeks to provide the nuclear community with access to the technical, regulatory, and financial support necessary to move innovative nuclear energy technologies toward commercialization.
Offers high-resolution computer modeling of aging nuclear reactor equipment. By modeling how extending the life of a reactor impacts the materials it's composed of, VERA can help determine the safe conditions at which plant life can be extended.
Included the National Highway Freight Program (which funds infrastructure investments directly) and the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects Program (which provides projects with other forms of grants or credit assistance).
Provides investment in road, rail, transit and port projects. Congress has dedicated nearly $7.1 billion for ten rounds of National Infrastructure Investments to fund projects that have a significant local or regional impact.
The Department of Transportation and Federal Railroad Administration maintain resources on positive train control, including relevant regulations, technical standards, grants, and implementation status across the nation’s rail lines.
