The Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (DOE-NE AMMT) Program develops cross-cutting technologies in support of a broad range of nuclear reactor technologies, and maintains U.S. leadership in materials and manufacturing technologies for nuclear energy applications. The overarching vision of the AMMT program is to accelerate the development, qualification, demonstration, and deployment of advanced materials and manufacturing technologies to enable reliable and economical nuclear energy.The major goals of the AMMT program are:- Develop advanced materials and manufacturing technologies that have cross-reactor impacts
- Establish a comprehensive framework for rapid qualification of new materials made by advanced manufacturing
- Accelerate commercialization of new materials and manufacturing technologies through demonstration and deployment.
The AMMT program consists of three program elements: - Development, Qualification and Demonstration
- Capability Development and Transformative Research
- Collaborative Research and Development.
We use an integrated approach combining a set of tools including advanced characterization, high-throughput and accelerated testing techniques, modeling and simulation, and machine learning and artificial intelligence to build a novel framework for accelerated development, qualification, and demonstration of advanced materials and manufacturing technologies. R&D is executed in multi-disciplinary and cross-organizational teams to leverage collaboration and integration.
The AMMT program directly impacts the nuclear industry by developing high-performance radiation-, corrosion- and high temperature-resistant materials for advanced manufacturing and/or through advanced manufacturing and accelerating the deployment of advanced materials and manufacturing technologies to enable reliable and economical nuclear energy.
DOE-NE AMMT 2022 ROADMAP
We have recently released the AMMT 2022 roadmap (https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1958265). The roadmap identifies the key research needs, challenges, and opportunities; outlines strategic research priorities; and provides a detailed five-year plan. The roadmap is a living document and will be updated periodically. UPCOMING EVENTS
