Monitored Retrievable Storage Submission to Congress-Rev. 1
Monitored Retrievable Storage Submission to Congress-Rev. 1
In response to Section 141 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the Department of Energy hereby submits a proposal for the construction of a facility for monitored retrievable storage (MRS). The approval of this proposal by the Congress would specifically--
• Approve the construction of an MRS facility at a site on the Clinch River in the Roane County portion of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
• Limit the storage capacity at the MRS site to 15,000 metric tons of uranium.
Summary of 2017 Public Comments on the Draft Consent-Based Siting Process for Consolidated Storage and Disposal Facilities for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste
Summary of 2017 Public Comments on the Draft Consent-Based Siting Process for Consolidated Storage and Disposal Facilities for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste
This document summarizes comments received on the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Draft Consent-Based Siting Process for Consolidated Storage and Disposal Facilities for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste (referred to throughout this document as the Draft Consent-Based Siting Process). DOE published a request for public comment on the Draft Consent-Based Siting Process in the Federal Register on January 13, 2017 (82 FR 4333).
Initial Site-Specific De-Inventory Reports
Initial Site-Specific De-Inventory Reports
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is exploring options for developing a large-scale transportation system for the safe transport of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste to future storage or disposal facilities. This complex, large-scale transportation system will involve coordinated, integrated activities. Interfaces with various transportation and non-transportation activities must be defined, and systems must be developed to ensure successful integration when the system becomes operational.
Consent-Based Siting Process for Federal Consolidated Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel
Consent-Based Siting Process for Federal Consolidated Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel
In this document, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) outlines its road map for implementing a consent-based siting process to site one or more federal consolidated interim storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel.
Consent-Based Siting Roadmap
Consent-Based Siting Roadmap
The U.S. Department of Energy is pursuing one or more federal consolidated interim storage facilities to store the nation's commercial spent nuclear fuel in the near-term using a multistage consent-based approach that puts communities' interest at the forefront.

Spent Nuclear Fuel and Reprocessing Waste Inventory, Revision 9
Spent Nuclear Fuel and Reprocessing Waste Inventory, Revision 9
This report provides information on the inventory of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in the United States located at Nuclear Power Reactor and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation sites, as well as SNF and reprocessing waste located at U.S. Department of Energy sites and other research and development centers as of the end of calendar year 2021.
Summary of Consolidated Interim Storage Advantages and Disadvantages from an Integrated Systems Perspective from Prior Reports and Studies
Summary of Consolidated Interim Storage Advantages and Disadvantages from an Integrated Systems Perspective from Prior Reports and Studies
The question of whether centralized storage of civilian spent nuclear fuel (SNF) should be part of the federal waste management system as an intermediate step before permanent disposal has been debated for more than four decades. Centralized storage facilities were included as a potential component of the U.S. spent fuel management system in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA), but the NWPA did not identify these facilities as being essential.
Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste 3
Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste 3
The Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste is a framework for moving toward a sustainable program to deploy an integrated system capable of transporting, storing, and disposing of used nuclear fuel1 and high-level radioactive waste from civilian nuclear power generation, defense, national security and other activities. The Strategy addresses several important needs.
Designing a Consent-Based Siting Process: Summary of Public Input, Final Report
Designing a Consent-Based Siting Process: Summary of Public Input, Final Report
The successful siting of nuclear waste management facilities, through a consent-based process, is predicated on a robust and transparent dialogue between the Department and its stakeholders. From December 23, 2015 through July 31, 2016, DOE solicited and received public comments and heard input from a wide range of individuals, communities, states, Tribes, and stakeholders through the multiple avenues described above.
A Historical Review of the Safe Transport of Spent Nuclear Fuel
A Historical Review of the Safe Transport of Spent Nuclear Fuel
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has since established the IWM, which builds on the work begun by NFST, to develop an integrated waste management system for spent nuclear fuel (SNF)a, including the development of a large-scale transportation system for the safe transport of SNF to storage or disposal facilities.
Consent-based Siting Consortia Progress: March 2024
Consent-based Siting Consortia Progress: March 2024
Consent-based siting consortia support DOE's efforts to facilitate inclusive community engagement and elicit public feedback on consent-based siting, management of spent nuclear fuel, and federal consolidated interim storage. The 12 awardees are comprised of various organizations to help reach communities across the country and remove barriers to participate in DOE's consent-based siting process.
Awardees have made significant progress in carrying out community engagement activities and providing direct grants to communities wanting to learn more.
