The Nuclear Energy Research Advisory Committee (NERAC) was established on October 1, 1998, to provide independent advice to the Department of Energy (DOE) and Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology (NE) on complex science and technical issues that arise in the planning, managing, and implementation of DOE's nuclear energy program. NERAC will periodically review the elements of the NE program and based on these reviews provide advice and recommendations on long-range plans, priorities, and strategies to effectively address the scientific and engineering aspects of the research and development efforts. In addition, the committee will provide advice on national policy and scientific aspects on nuclear energy research issues as requested by the Secretary of Energy or the Director, NE.
