Advanced nuclear technologies, including both fusion and fission systems, represent an important area of long-horizon research and development. Progress in these systems depends not only on reactor concepts themselves, but also on the foundational materials, components, sensing technologies, computational methods, and supporting subsystems that could make next-generation nuclear systems more practical, resilient, and effective over time.

Federal agencies including the Department of Energy, Department of War, and U.S. Geological Survey have identified critical minerals as a national priority. Recent federal actions have further accelerated efforts to strengthen domestic capabilities for resource identification, extraction, processing, recycling, and material substitution.
