No single question bedevils American energy and environmental policy more than nuclear waste. First, nuclear power plants in the United States generate about 2,000 metric tons of nuclear waste (or ...
The advanced reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel is a potential key to achieve a sustainable nuclear fuel cycle and to tackle the heavy burden of nuclear waste management. In particular, the development of such advanced reprocessing systems may save natural resources, reduce waste inventory and enhance the public acceptance of nuclear energy.
Figure 1 - NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. Collaborates with Curio to Optimize the Nuclear Fuel Recycling Capabilities of its Advanced Portable Microreactors. The companies will now collaborate for one year and seek to optimize NANO Nuclear’s fuel designs for enhanced recyclability and seek to implement cutting edge recycling methods utilizing the ...
The Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) is an extensive research and development effort of the United States Department of Energy (DOE). The mission and focus of AFCI is to enable the safe, secure, economic and sustainable expansion of nuclear energy by conducting research, development, and demonstration focused on nuclear fuel recycling and waste management to meet U.S. needs.
The Ship-Submarine Recycling Program (SRP) is the process that the United States Navy uses to dispose of decommissioned nuclear vessels. SRP takes place only at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) in Bremerton, Washington , but the preparations can begin elsewhere.
What the nuclear industry says. Nuclear energy proponents, including the Nuclear Energy Institute, say some 1,300 shipments of spent have been moved across the country by barge, truck and rail in ...
The proposed project would require a 1 million-square-foot nuclear fuel cycle facility to be built. The land would be acquired in three phases over six years at a total cost of nearly $27 million ...
The nuclear waste was planned to be shipped to the site by rail and/or truck in robust containers known as spent nuclear fuel shipping casks, approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. While the routes in Nevada would have been public, in the other states the planned routes, dates and times of transport would have been secret for ...
