Amendment 00004 – The purpose of this amendment is to update NSUF workscope areas as Program Supporting areas, remove the requirement for Certifications and Assurances and budget documents for applications in the NEET-NSUF-2 workscope. Amendment 00003- The purpose of this amendment is to update Table 1 to clarify maximum award amounts for Mission Supporting workscopes. A maximum award amount of $525,000 is available for MS-EM-1, all other MS areas have a maximum award of $400,000. Also, the federal point of contact for the MS-FC-1 area has changed to Bill McCaughey. Amendment 00002 – The purpose of this amendment is to update Appendix C, workscope IRP-FC-1, to allow 4 year projects under this scope. Also, some minor edits were made in the header on Appendix C to be consistent with that section. The pagination at the footer was also corrected. Finally, title corrections were made to the FC-2.1 and FC-2.2 workscope areas: • FC-2.1: Coupling Experimental Data with Advanced Modeling and Simulation • FC-2.2: Advanced Reactor Metallic Fuel Amendment 00001 – The purpose of this amendment is to release the final Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) document, included are all updated work scopes associated with this FOA. The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) conducts crosscutting nuclear energy research and development (R&D) and associated infrastructure support activities to develop innovative technologies that offer the promise of dramatically improved performance for advanced reactors and fuel cycle concepts while maximizing the impact of DOE resources. NE strives to promote integrated and collaborative research conducted by national laboratory, university, industry, and international partners under the direction of NE’s programs. NE funds research activities through both competitive and direct mechanisms, as required to best meet the needs of NE. This approach ensures a balanced R&D portfolio and encourages new nuclear pow
