DPC Direct Disposal R&D Independent Technical Review: Plan
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Developing and evaluating approaches for direct geologic disposal of commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in dual-purpose canisters (DPCs) is a cross-cutting multi-disciplinary activity that is directly tied to the implementation of DPCs by the nuclear industry. The ultimate goal of the DPC direct disposal R&D program is to facilitate and maximize safe, cost-effective, licensed direct disposal. Independent Technical Review (ITR) is needed to maximize the impact of the R&D program on future implementation. The review will involve a team of experts representing the nuclear industry, repository sciences, and licensing. The team will be charged to review a set of representative technical reports and other information, and answer a set of questions that focus on R&D steering.
