Abstract

The Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste (Standard Contract) (10 CFR Part 961) establishes the terms and conditions under which the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will make available nuclear waste disposal services to the owners and generators of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW), as provided in section 302 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA) as amended, and by which DOE will take title to, transport, and dispose of SNF and/or HLW delivered to DOE by those owners or generators who execute the contract. The Standard Contract establishes the process for allocating the federal government’s finite waste acceptance capacity among those various owners/generators. This acceptance allocation, also known as the acceptance queue, orders acceptance and transportation priority in accordance with the principle of “oldest fuel first” (OFF). Under the OFF methodology, the oldest SNF, as measured from the date of permanent discharge from the reactor, is given the highest priority in the acceptance queue. While the date of discharge of spent fuel forms the basis of allocations, the owner/generator can send an equivalent Metric Tons of Uranium (MTU) of SNF that the owner/generator owns in its place,more »« less

Conference Joseph, Robert; Petersen, Gordon; Wal, Lucas; ...

The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended (NWPA 1982), established the federal government’s responsibility to accept spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) from waste owners and generators for ultimate disposition. SNF generated by the current fleet of commercial nuclear reactors is being stored at the reactor sites in spent fuel pools (SFPs) and in dry independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs). The US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) is developing an Integrated Waste Management Program (IWMP) comprising a suite of options and supporting analyses to enable future informed choices. The IWMP ismore »« less
