Comment from Third Way on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions Scoping of TRISO-X Environmental Impact Statement (Docket ID NRC-2022-0201)
Dear Mr. John M. Moses:
The following is a written comment from Third Ways Climate and Energy Program on environmental issues related to TRISO-X, LLCs license application for the possession and use of special nuclear material for the manufacture of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) at a fuel fabrication facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Third Way is a national think tank based in Washington, DC that champions center-left ideas and policies. The Climate and Energy Program at Third Way designs and advocates for policies with the aim of enabling the US and the rest of the world to achieve the fastest and fairest path to net-zero emissions.
Consistent with the views of prominent experts within the climate science community and the current executive administration, we believe that nuclear energy will play an essential role in meeting global climate objectives given the vast amounts of low-carbon energy sources that will need to be deployed in order to meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions within a very short timeframe. Recognizing the role of nuclear energy, and in particular advanced reactors, in meeting climate goals, the Department of Energy has invested significant resources into the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). The program is scheduled to demonstrate two advanced nuclear reactors before 2030, including X-energys Xe-100 design.
Adequate fuel supply is essential for timely demonstration of the Xe-100. We believe that the TRISO-X Fuel Fabrication Facility (FFF), designed to produce proprietary TRISO-X fuel for the Xe-100, will play a significant role in successfully demonstrating this reactor without delay.
X-energys TRISO-X fuel is one of the latest innovations in fuel design, building on a legacy of United States and global nuclear energy experience. TRISO-X fuel will be cheaper, able to safely operate at higher temperatures, and more operationally flexible. This fuel technology possesses inherent attributes that make it more resilient to accidents or other hazards. The FFFs licensing and operation is essential in order for X-energys Washington demonstration, one of the flagship ARDP award projects, to contribute to US and global decarbonization. Production of this robust fuel will contribute to fuel security for the Xe-100 design and thus broader US fuel security goals.
ARDP is a pivotal step towards the deployment of US advanced reactors for national and global climate goals, as the United States will not meet its goals without expanding and advancing its nuclear energy generation capacity and domestic fuel cycle capabilities. As has been shown in multiple studies, the premature reduction of US nuclear capacity would result in an increase in 1025 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 400
fossil fuel generation and therefore undermine progress toward climate objectives. The fabrication and use of new robust fuels including TRISO-X will support nuclear power generations ability to curb growth of hazardous fossil fuel emissions harming local communities.
We urge the NRC to implement a comprehensive view of nuclear energys environmental implications throughout the fuel cycle in developing its environmental assessment process by taking into account nuclear energys contribution to reducing climate and non-climate emissions. Further, we advise that the NRC apply this perspective in its review of the environmental impact statement for TRISO-X, LLCs TRISO-X Fuel Fabrication Facility, and keep its environmental review as efficient as possible by keeping the scope of the review focused.
