DOE on track to deliver high-burnup SNF to Idaho by 2027
The Department of Energy said it anticipated delivering a research cask of high-burnup spent nuclear fuel from Dominion Energy’s North Anna nuclear power plant in Virginia to Idaho National Laboratory by fall 2027. The planned shipment is part of the High Burnup Dry Storage Research Project being conducted by the DOE with the Electric Power Research Institute.
As preparations continue, the DOE said it is working closely with federal agencies as well as tribal and state governments along potential transportation routes to ensure safety, transparency, and readiness every step of the way.
Watch the DOE’s latest video outlining the project here.

A set of diagnostics for plasma spectroscopy was developed for multimiror trap GOL-3. It includes survey spectrometer with spatial resolution and the high spectral resolution complex for line shape analysis. The systems allow recording waveforms of plasma radiation with spectral resolution of 0.01 nm and measure spatial distribution of line radiation intensity (simultaneously in π and σ components).
Analysis of radiation spectra was used for investigation of impurities structure and dynamics. Precise measurements of spectral line shape were used for finding the electron density and ion temperature from a line broadening. Description of the equipment and experimental technique as well the recent results are presented in the paper.
