Center for Used Fuel Research: Building confidence in storage and transport
Used nuclear fuel storage and transportation have reached a critical juncture.
Dozens of utilities need reliable data on how used nuclear fuel performs in dry storage casks and canisters to extend regulatory licenses at sites across the United States. Likewise, the Department of Energy expects to take ownership of the used nuclear fuel—termed “spent nuclear fuel” in the laws and regulations governing its stewardship—and transfer it to one or more federal staging facilities for management and disposition.
Meanwhile, dozens of reactor companies are testing prototypes of advanced reactors and advanced reactor fuels. Eventually, regulators and industry must also verify the safety and security of storage methods for these advanced fuel types.
To help address these challenges, the DOE established the Center for Used Fuel Research (CUFR) in January 2026 for work related to the long-term storage and transport of used nuclear fuel.

For decades, nuclear technology has quietly powered progress: clean energy, advanced isotope research, lifesaving medical treatments, space applications, national security, and more. As nuclear reemerges in public conversation, we’re ready to build bigger and better than ever before. The blueprints are bold—and you’re a part of the design.
Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned expert, the 2025 ANS Winter Conference & Expo is your chance to connect, learn, and collaborate with every sector of nuclear.
Executive sessions will bring you face-to-face with senior officials from the administration and Congress as they unpack the latest executive orders.
Explore visionary strategies with industry leaders to grow the workforce, revitalize supply chains, accelerate commercialization, and amplify public advocacy.
Engage with cutting-edge technologies on the exhibit floor and exchange ideas that will shape a new nuclear century.
This is where the future takes form. Together, we’re creating real solutions for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Step into the moment, shape the conversation, and join us in Building the Nuclear Century at the 2025 ANS Winter Conference & Expo in Washington, D.C.
