The Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) Campaign of the U.S. Department of 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 spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level nuclear waste (HLW). R&D addressing the disposal of SNF/HLW in the U.S. is currently generic (i.e., "non-site-specific") in scope, following the suspension of the Yucca Mountain Repository Project in 2010. However, to prepare for the eventuality of a repository siting process, the former Used Fuel Disposition Campaign (UFDC) of DOE-NE, which was succeeded by the SFWST Campaign, formulated an R&D Roadmap in 2012 outlining generic R&D activities and their priorities appropriate for developing safety cases and associated performance assessment (PA) models for generic deep geologic repositories in several potential host-rock environments in the contiguous United States. This 2012 UFDC Roadmap also identified the importance of re-evaluating priorities in future years as knowledge is gained from the DOE's ongoing R&D activities.
