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.

The methods used to acquire data in the Three Mile Island Unit 2 reactor coolant system (RCS) are discussed. The planning for each task, tool development, as-low-as-reasonbly-achievable concepts incorporated, and unanticipated problems encountered during task performance are also disucssed. These methods have provided information for the planning of specialized defueling features for safe and efficient fuel removal from the RCS.
