Amended DOE standard contract reduces SNF responsibility, report says
While changes the Department of Energy made to its standard contract for accepting spent nuclear fuel may help reduce federal liabilities, they provide “little to no assurance” that the government will ever follow through on its promise to take possession of the fuel, according to commentary from Matt Bowen and Rama T. Ponangi of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA.
The Innovative SMR Development Agency is a dedicated government-established entity in Republic of Korea for the development of i-SMR. The standard design of i-SMR will be completed by the end of 2025 and FOAKE plants are planned to construct in the early 2030s. The i-SMR will be an optimized SMR, integrating innovative technology alongside the construction experiences from the APR1400.
