IAEA releases interactive tool on global spent nuclear fuel
“But what about the waste?” Whether pronuclear, on the fence, or opposed, this common refrain still applies: Spent nuclear fuel is a challenge that needs action on clear solutions. Now, the International Atomic Energy Agency has a new tool to help people visualize the issue.
With its new online “Spent Fuel Management: The Inventory Status” tool, the IAEA has provided an important resource for investigating the amount of SNF produced by reactors around the world and how it is currently stored.
21 Consulting Group, Inc. (21CGI) is a woman owned small business specializing in Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS). Founder and President, Sandi Larson, has over 30 years of NCS experience. 21CGI supports multiple clients, both in the US government and commercial nuclear sectors. The supported sites perform a wide array of fissile operations, from plutonium and uranium processing and recovery to uranium enrichment, nuclear fuel fabrication and waste disposal. Some 21CGI clients, such as the Y-12 National Security Complex and Los Alamos National Laboratory, routinely process large quantities of fissile materials while others have smaller NCS programs, like the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Thus, 21CGI brings a broad knowledge base of operations, lessons learned and best practices to each new task.
