The management of advanced reactor waste and HALEU fuels will have some similarities to managing SNF from the current LWR fleet, but the new form factors and uranium assays will also require nuanced adjustments to cask designs, certifications, and disposal requirements. It will likely be prudent to identify these differences as early as possible so that accommodations can be made for the differences. This panel will also discuss what changes might be necessary to the existing infrastructure and what is being done to prepare for future storage, shipments, and disposal.
