Advanced nuclear technologies, including both fusion and fission systems, represent an important area of long-horizon research and development. Progress in these systems depends not only on reactor concepts themselves, but also on the foundational materials, components, sensing technologies, computational methods, and supporting subsystems that could make next-generation nuclear systems more practical, resilient, and effective over time.
The Nuclear Futures Challenge will identify early-stage, scientifically grounded innovations that could support future advances across fusion and fission pathways.
