Working to eliminate barriers to adopting nuclear energy

Doctoral student Dauren Sarsenbayev is developing models to address nuclear waste management, which remains a major barrier to widespread nuclear energy adoption. This research aims to eliminate bottlenecks preventing the expansion of nuclear power as a clean energy source.

• →Nuclear waste management continues to be a primary obstacle to widespread nuclear energy deployment.
• →A doctoral student is developing new models to address nuclear waste disposal challenges.
• →Solving nuclear waste issues could significantly accelerate nuclear energy adoption.
• →Research focuses on eliminating technical barriers rather than regulatory or economic ones.
• →Nuclear energy expansion could benefit clean energy transition goals.
