# Presentation: 090145

## Charge to the Workshop and to the Panels

**To ****identify basic research needs and opportunities**** in advanced nuclear energy systems and related areas, with a focus on new, emerging and scientifically challenging areas that have the potential to have significant impact in science and technologies. Highlighted areas will include improved and new materials and relevant chemical processes to overcome short-term showstoppers and long-term grand challenges for the effective utilization of nuclear energy.**** **
**The primary goal of the panel sessions is to ****identify and describe priority research directions**** where ****revolutionary, not evolutionary, basic-research advances**** are needed to make nuclear energy utilization competitive in the marketplace. The panel sessions should ****focus on breakthroughs in basic science, not incremental extensions of present knowledge****.**

## Instructions to the Breakout Panels

**All panelists in each panel are expected to:**
**Actively participate in the discussion in the panel to which you have been assigned**
**Draft priority research directions for panel **
**Participate in preparation of presentation materials for plenary sessions and provide input for the written report**
**Observers will be in the room but not at the panel table**
**Will participate in discussion only as determined and required by panel co-chairs**
**You are all encourage to network and discuss issues and ideas at the break, meals, etc. **
**Technology Resource individual available to panel throughout the workshop**

## The cross cutting panel

**Michelle Buchanan - ORNL**
**George Crabtree - ANL**
**John Hemminger - UC Irvine**
**John Poate - Colorado School of Mines**

**Tasked with floating among all of the panels **
**Will identify cross cutting grand challenges and PRDs**
**Will write section of the report that identifies these cross cutting grand challenges**

## The “Floaters”

**Floaters are selected individuals who have been tasked by the workshop organizers and the panel co-chairs with floating between two different panels in order to:**
**provide real time interaction between panels;**
**provide input to the writing teams during the writing day (or ahead of it if they are leaving at the end of the day on Wednesday)**
**serve as a resource for the cross cutting panel in identifying cross cutting GCs and PRDs.**

## Who are the floaters?

**Mike Baskes between panels 1 and 6**
**Wayne King between panels 1 and 4**
**Steve Bruemmer between panels 2 and 1**
**David Clark between panels 3 and 4**
**Kurt Sickafus between panels 4 and 5**
**Dave Dixon between panels 6 and 3**

## INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PANELS(DETAILS ON THE WEBSITE)

**Panel participants are responsible for preparation of the following:**
**A presentation to all workshop attendees at the mid point plenary session on Tuesday and another at the Plenary Closing Session on Wednesday.**
**Please use the appropriate PowerPoint template provided on the workshop’s website.**
**A draft report on your area of focus, describing its current status and basic science challenges, opportunities, and research needs (3000–5000 words). **
**Your report should include sidebars and compelling visual images. **
**This report is due August 14****. **
**Drafts of three to five priority research directions (or, for panel 7, crosscutting research directions) describing key research objectives that would enable revolutionary progress in the field. **
**These drafts are due August 14.**** **
