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.

Utility nuclear engineering organizations are among the primary end users of subchannel analysis technology. Typically there is only a limited involvement by utility staff in the actual development. of subchannel software other than the addition of user convenience features such as editing routines and automated execution of multiple cases. There is, however, a large and increasing number of applications of subchannel codes, which indicates the continuing need for software improvements to meet the needs of the end user. The subchannel code has been and will continue to be an integral part of the analysis technology maintained by utilities to ensure safe and economical design and operation of reactors. An overview of the status of the application of subchannel analysis codes at one particular utility is presented.
