The "Summary Report of Commercial Reactor Criticality Data for Crystal River Unit 3" contains the detailed information necessary to perform commercial reactor criticality (CRC) analyses for the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR3) reactor.

Following the proposals for nuclear fuel assurance of International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) Director General Mohamed El Baradei, former Russian President Vladimir V.
Putin, and U.S. President George W. Bush, joint committees of the Russian Academy of
Sciences (RAS) and the U.S. National Academies (NAS) were formed to address these and other
fuel assurance concepts and their links to nonproliferation goals. The joint committees also
addressed many technology issues relating to the fuel assurance concepts. This report provides

Gentlemen,
In accordance with the charter of the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future and as the Secretary's designee, I approve your request to establish an ad hoc subcommittee to review and make a recommendation to the Commission regarding the co-mingling of defense and commercial waste.
This letter also serves to appoint Dr. Allison Macfarlane as the chair of the subcommittee and the membership of the subcommittee as identified in your letter to me dated October 31, 2011.

The "Summary Report of Commercial Reactor Criticality Data for Catawba Unit 1" contains the detailed information necessary to perform commercial reactor criticality (CRC) analyses for the Catawba Unit 1 reactor.

Over the decade since NWPA, the disposal
program's strategy, based on its interpretation of the
legislative mandate and regulatory requirements, has
sought:
• in a single large step and under a tight
schedule, to achieve the first-of-a-kind licensing
of a first-of-a-kind repository for isolating
wastes from the human environment for many
thousands of years.
• in a single large step and as rapidly as possible,
to build a full-scale repository and begin
disposing of the bulk of the nation's inventory

Past efforts by the Department of Energy (DOE), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and others have provided sufficient technical information to enable the NRC to issue regulatory guidance for implementation of pressurized-water reactor (PWR) burnup credit; however, consideration of only the reactivity change due to the major actinides is recommended in the guidance.

The isotopic composition of mixed-oxide fuel (fabricated with both uranium and plutonium
isotopes) discharged from reactors is of interest to the Fissile Material Disposition Program. The
validation of depletion codes used to predict isotopic compositions of MOX fuel, similar to studies
concerning uranium-only fueled reactors, thus, is very important. The EEI-Westinghouse Plutonium
Recycle Demonstration Program was conducted to examine the use of MOX fuel in the San Onofre

This report investigates various calculational modeling issues associated with boilingwater-
reactor (BWR) fuel depletion relevant to burnup credit. To date, most of the efforts in
burnup-credit studies in the United States have focused on issues related to pressurized-waterreactor
(PWR) fuel. However, requirements for the permanent disposal of BWR fuel have
necessitated the development of methods for predicting the spent fuel contents for such fuels.
Concomitant with such analyses, validation is also necessary. This report provides a summary of

This report provides details of dry storage cask systems and contents in U.S. for commercial light water
reactor fuel. Section 2 contains details on the canisters used to store approximately 86% of assemblies in
dry storage in the U.S. Transport cask details for bare fuels, dual purpose casks and canister transport
casks are included in Section 3. Section 4 details the inventory of those shutdown sites without any
operating reactors. Information includes the cask type deployed, transport license and status as well as
