The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) established the National Spent Nuclear Fuel Program to support its need to safely and efficiently manage all
DOE-owned spent nuclear fuel and prepare it for disposal. The National
Spent Nuclear Fuel Program is addressing that need. Our mission is to provide technology solutions and guidance to ensure safe, efficient handling,
characterization, and disposition of DOE-owned or managed spent nuclear fuel.

We are currently performing analyses and providing technology solutions in four distinct areas of spent nuclear fuel management. Projects related
to the following focus areas can be found in our fact sheets:
|
- Solutions for safe, efficient packaging and transportation
- Solutions for safe, interim and long-term storage
- Solutions for accurate characterization
- Compliance with safety and regulatory requirements
