UMich offers online collection on “Nuclear Futures”

A new NSTOR collection, "Reimagining Nuclear Futures: Emerging Voices on Technology, Policy, and Society," has been launched by Aditi Verma, assistant professor of nuclear engineering and radiological sciences at the University of Michigan. The collection features technology policy op-eds, essays, and papers from emerging scholars in nuclear engineering and adjacent fields.

The collection is open access with no publication charges through the end of 2024.

NSTOR-Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research-is offered through the American Nuclear Society.

About the collection: Technology developers and policymakers in the United States and globally are developing a new generation of nuclear energy technologies-fission and fusion-with the expectation that they will play an important role in the rapid decarbonization of energy systems.

Beyond the engineering and design work needed to develop this new generation of nuclear technologies, a number of societal, political, economic, ethical, security, and environmental challenges must be considered and resolved before they can be used at scale.

Submit now: Early-career researchers and practitioners-including students, recent graduates, postdocs, and new faculty-from engineering, humanities, and social science disciplines are invited to contribute to the collection.
