The University of Michigan (UM) hosted the annual Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D) University Program Review (UPR) meeting at the Sheraton Ann Arbor, June 5–7, 2018. The meeting, which welcomed 285 participants, featured the efforts of three University-led consortia teams including Nuclear Science and Security Consortium (Lead-University of California, Berkeley), Consortium for Nonproliferation Enabling Capabilities (Lead-North Carolina State University), and the Consortium for Verification Technology (Lead-University of Michigan). These consortia, funded by the DOE NNSA Integrated University Program (IUP), enact the mission to develop advanced technical capabilities in support of U.S. national nuclear security and nonproliferation goals by developing new technologies and expertise.
