The Department of Energy will provide public access to these results of federally sponsored research in accordance with the DOE Public Access Plan (http://energy.gov/downloads/doe-publicaccess-plan). The High Burnup Spent Fuel Data Project, sponsored by the US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy, is focused on understanding the effects of long-term storage and transportation on high burnup (HBU) (>45 gigawatt days per metric ton uranium) pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel. The goals of the project are to “provide confirmatory data for model validation and potential improvement, provide input to future SNF [spent nuclear fuel] dry storage cask design, support license renewals and new licenses for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSIs), and support transportation licensing for high burnup SNF” [1,2].
