ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse
The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

JAERI started a program of Demonstration Poloidal Coils (DPC) for superconducting pulse poloidal coils. In this program, two NbTi pulse coils, DPC-1 and DPC-2, and a Nb3Sn pulse coil, DPC-EX are being developed. These coils have the same diameter of 1.0 m and the charging condition is from zero to 7 T in 1 sec. Total stored energy of DPC-1 and DPC-2 will be 30 MJ. Regarding design requirements and conditions of DPC, design selections on the coil configuration, charging mode and insulation, cooling type, conductor, and so on were made as described in this paper.
