The Fuel Cycle Research and Development (FCRD) program aims to recycle used nuclear fuel and reduce the time-scale for managing high-level nuclear waste. The FCRD enables safe, secure, economic, and sustainable nuclear energy expansion while reducing proliferation risks. The program focuses on long term, science-based technology research and development (R&D) having the potential to change management of the nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear waste.
