DOE SFWST Campaign R&D Roadmap Update Rev.1.
Abstract
The Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) Campaign of the U.S. Departmentof Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition(SFWD) is conducting research and development (R&D) on deep geologic disposal of spentnuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level nuclear waste (HLW). R&D addressing the disposal ofSNF/HLW in the U.S. is currently generic (i.e., "non-site-specific") in scope, following thesuspension of the Yucca Mountain Repository Project in 2010. However, to prepare for theeventuality of a repository siting process, the former Used Fuel Disposition Campaign (UFDC) ofDOE-NE, which was succeeded by the SFWST Campaign, formulated an R&D Roadmap in 2012outlining generic R&D activities and their priorities appropriate for developing safety cases andassociated performance assessment (PA) models for generic deep geologic repositories in severalpotential host-rock environments in the contiguous United States. This 2012 UFDC Roadmap alsoidentified the importance of re-evaluating priorities in future years as knowledge is gained fromthe DOE's ongoing R&D activities.
