Description
DOE-NE currently supports research and development activities to evaluate the technology options and economics for recycling valuable components of irradiated nuclear fuel. Technical scopes include used nuclear fuel (UNF) from current fleet and advanced reactor designs. The term UNF (or “used fuel”) is synonymous with the term “spent nuclear fuel.” The legal definition of “spent nuclear fuel” is provided by Section 2 (23) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended (NWPA). DOE-NE undertakes these activities in support of the Administration’s objectives to regain the U.S.’s technological leadership position in the global nuclear industry and to achieve the United States’ energy security. DOE-NE recognizes that continued efforts in line with NSM-19 policy guidance will be necessary to assure U.S. leadership in the research, design, and development of advanced recycling technologies, and to assess options as technologies and economics evolve. The activities to be funded under this NOFO support the broader government-wide approach to advance nuclear fuel cycle technologies to promote the nuclear energy portfolio within the U.S. which will maximize the benefits of the clean energy transition as the nation works to curb the climate crisis, empower workers, and advance environmental justice.
