DOE lays out fuel cycle goals in RFI to states
The Department of Energy has issued a request for information inviting states to express interest in hosting Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. According to the DOE, the proposed campuses could support work across the nuclear fuel life cycle, with a primary focus on fuel fabrication, enrichment, spent fuel reprocessing or recycling, separations, and radioactive waste management.
The DOE said the RFI marks the first step toward potentially establishing voluntary federal-state partnerships designed to build a coherent, end-to-end nuclear energy strategy for the country.

The ANS-8 Forum allows the Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) community to learn about the consensus standards that are under development and what kinds of work items are being considered by the ANS-8 Subcommittee. ANS-8 working groups will also provide discussions about working group tasks and opportunities for stakeholders and volunteers to learn more about ANS-8 standards. Students and early-career individuals interested in standards are welcome to participate.
