2021 ATR Strategic Plan
Collaborative development of nuclear energy science and technology by three major sectors—academia, the commercial nuclear power industry, and the federal government—is key to meeting the challenges of nuclear energy. All three share a common need for experimental capabilities, whether for basic science investigations, applied research in nuclear fuels and materials, or validation of data. The Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) provides the unique irradiation capabilities to support the need.
