Title:

Workshop on Collaboration Between the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for Development of Criticality Safety Benchmarking Data for HALEU Fuel Cycle and Transportation

Date(s) and Time(s):February 29, 2024, 11:00 AM to 02:15 PM ET

Location: Webinar

Category: This is an Observation Meeting. This is a meeting in which attendees will have an opportunity to observe the NRC performing its regulatory function or discussing regulatory issues. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of the NRC staff or make comments about the issues discussed following the business portion of the meeting; however, the NRC is not actively soliciting comments towards regulatory decisions at this meeting.

Purpose:

This workshop, co-hosted by NRC and DOE, will describe NRC and DOE collaboration initiated by the 2020 Energy Act and as funded by the Inflation Reduction Act to develop publicly available data to support the NRC in initiating, executing, and completing activities that will reduce the uncertainty associated with approving commercial-scale facility and transportation operations for the HALEU fuel cycle. The workshop is intended to bring participants up to speed on the current DOE/NRC assessment of gaps in validation and nuclear data for HALEU-based fuel cycles and collect feedback that will be used to inform the first DOE Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for benchmark proposals.
