Advanced Nuclear Waste Research Highlighted in DOE Video

Stony Brook University researchers have developed MATRICY fuel technology to reduce nuclear waste volumes for advanced reactor designs. The project, supported by the Department of Energy's ARPA-E program, utilizes pressureless sintering to create scalable fuel compacts. This work aims to improve fuel utilization and lower the long-term waste burden for future reactor fuel cycles.

QuoteResearchers at Stony Brook University are working on one of the nuclear energy field's biggest long-term challenges: what to do with the waste.

As the United States looks toward expanding advanced nuclear energy technologies, researchers at Stony Brook University are working on one of the field's biggest long-term challenges: what to do with the waste.

That work recently earned national attention for Stony Brook Professor Jason Trelewicz, whose research was featured in a video to highlight his work with the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). ARPA-E supports high-risk, high-reward energy innovations designed to strengthen U.S. energy security and accelerate transformative technologies that are still too early for large-scale private investment.
