The US Department of Energy has announced a plan to provide funding of up to $12m for new research on nuclear data.

The DOE said the aim is to expand and improve the quality of data needed for a wide range of nuclear-related activities from basic research in nuclear science to isotope production and nuclear nonproliferation efforts.

Topics to be considered include artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches to improve the curation of nuclear data; high-impact experiments with potential applications to basic nuclear science, nuclear energy, and nuclear nonproliferation; production of radioactive and stable isotopes that are in short supply; and advancing capabilities for identifying nuclear contraband via detection of gamma rays.

The US Department of Energy is to provide up to $16m to finance the research and development for isotope production – part of a key federal programme that produces critical isotopes otherwise unavailable or in short supply for US science, medicine, and industry.

The DOE said it will provide up to $16m, half of which will be available in fiscal year 2021 and the other half in 2022. All funding will be contingent on congressional approval.

The effort is aimed at sustaining “longstanding US leadership” in the vital field of isotope production, research, and development, the DOE said.
