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.
Watch the DOE’s latest video outlining the project here.

Reduction of hydrogen contents in low Z films coated at room temperature has been systematically investigated to control hydrogen recycling, which is considered as one of key issues to achieve high plasma performance in Large Helical Device (LHD). Within experiments on boron films produced from B10H14 or B2H6 and carbon films from CH4, the hydrogen content is successfully reduced with the increase of the film growth rate by controlling DC glow discharge conditions. These results form an important database for general use of hydrogen reduction in low Z films coated at room temperature.
