DOE on track to deliver high-burnup SNF to Idaho by 2027
The Department of Energy said it anticipated delivering a research cask of high-burnup spent nuclear fuel from Dominion Energy’s North Anna nuclear power plant in Virginia to Idaho National Laboratory by fall 2027. The planned shipment is part of the High Burnup Dry Storage Research Project being conducted by the DOE with the Electric Power Research Institute.
As preparations continue, the DOE said it is working closely with federal agencies as well as tribal and state governments along potential transportation routes to ensure safety, transparency, and readiness every step of the way.

International nuclear safeguards are a key pillar of nonproliferation policy in the United States of America. The nonproliferation mission of the National Nuclear Security Administration/Department of Energy (NNSA/DOE) depends on a highly skilled, technically focused, and adaptive workforce. The Human Capital Development (HCD) program in the Office of International Nuclear Safeguards at the NNSA/DOE recognizes the need for highly skilled scientific and policy expertise to meet the enduring mission of international nuclear safeguards. Over a decade, the program has cultivated a set of best practices to recruit, train, and retain a skilled workforce of safeguards professionals through university outreach, fellowship programs, and professional exchanges across the NNSA laboratory complex. This abstract will share the successes and challenges of recruitment and retention in the HCD program in detail.
