Nuclear Power Plant Infrastructure Evaluations for Removal of Spent Nuclear Fuel (2024)

This report fulfills the M3 milestone M3SF-23PN0203020614, “Updated NPP Site Evaluation Report (2).” This report is an update of the 2021 report Nuclear Power Plant Infrastructure Evaluations for Removal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and includes expansion of the site evaluations to include operating nuclear power plant (NPP) sites and to incorporate updated site inventory data. Figures that include the number of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies and metric tons heavy metal (MTHM) in a single figure have also been added to the report.

This report provides evaluations of the NPP site infrastructure and near-site transportation infrastructure for removing SNF from 19 NPP sites (Maine Yankee, Yankee Rowe, Connecticut Yankee, Humboldt Bay, Big Rock Point, Rancho Seco, Trojan, La Crosse, Zion, Crystal River, Kewaunee, San Onofre, Vermont Yankee, Fort Calhoun, Oyster Creek, Pilgrim, Dresden, Indian Point, and Palisades) and the Morris Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The material to be removed from the NPP sites includes both the SNF and the greater-than-Class C low-level radioactive waste (GTCC waste) that is stored, or will be stored, at the sites.
