Crash Course: The DOE’s Package Performance Demonstration
Inspired by a history of similar testing endeavors and recommended by the National Academy of Sciences and the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future, the Department of Energy is planning to conduct physical demonstrations on rail-sized spent nuclear fuel transportation casks. As part of the project, called the Spent Nuclear Fuel Package Performance Demonstration (PPD), the DOE is considering a number of demonstrations based on regulatory tests and realistic transportation scenarios, including collisions, drops, exposure to fire, and immersion in water.

Listen to lightning talks about fuel cycle analysis, molten salt reactors, and extended storage & transportation of used nuclear fuel. Keep your Bingo Card (to be provided) close at hand and listen for those key words! Yes, there will be prizes—The first three to get BINGO will earn gift cards to Starbucks, Amazon, and Chick-Fil-A! After the lightning talks, stay and break out into smaller, more dynamic groups for small roundtable discussions and to network with like-minded ANSers.
