Transportation and Energy Networks: Planning for the Future
Regulatory and technological changes affect energy supply chains and transportation networks. This workshop examines transportation network gaps, opportunities, and risks. Participants will explore ways to preserve existing energy corridors in transition and supply chain transportation requirements for new energy networks.

Systems Thinking in Hazmat Transportation
This session explores whether systems thinking and applied safety management system principles can help industry and regulators be more proactive in anticipating how new technologies and supply chains affect the hazards and risks of transportation to drive safer transportation and better regulations in an era of rapid change. We anticipate focusing on energy and energy delivery systems (fuel oil and batteries) and all modes of transport (road, air, sea, and pipeline).

Transportation Planning for Shipping Spent Nuclear Fuel from Shutdown Reactor Sites to Interim Storage Facilities
This session focuses on activities associated with the U.S. Department of Energy planning initiative focused on the potential transport of spent nuclear fuel from shutdown commercial reactor sites to an interim storage facility. As part of DOE’s Nuclear Fuels Storage and Transportation Planning Project, there are hardware, operational, and institutional aspects to this effort, including rail equipment design and procurement, transportation logistics, development of decision-support tools, and stakeholder engagement.
