Description
This workshop report delves into the complexities surrounding the conversion of research reactors in the United States and Russia from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. It highlights the critical need for this transition to address proliferation concerns while simultaneously supporting scientific research.
Experts across various fields gather to share insights on the progress made, the challenges encountered, and the potential opportunities that lie ahead. The discussion not only emphasizes technical aspects of reactor conversion but also explores international collaboration and policy implications, ultimately aiming for a safer nuclear future globally.
