DOE on track to deliver high-burnup SNF to Idaho by 2027
The Department of Energy said it anticipated delivering a research cask of high-burnup spent nuclear fuel from Dominion Energy’s North Anna nuclear power plant in Virginia to Idaho National Laboratory by fall 2027. The planned shipment is part of the High Burnup Dry Storage Research Project being conducted by the DOE with the Electric Power Research Institute.
As preparations continue, the DOE said it is working closely with federal agencies as well as tribal and state governments along potential transportation routes to ensure safety, transparency, and readiness every step of the way.

ANS Young Members Group Spotlight on National Labs
February 11, 2021|11:00AM–12:30PM (12:00–1:30PM EST)
Available to All Users
The ANS Young Members Group presents a free webinar featuring the Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL).
As part of the Global Security Mission Directorate, RSL is a center for creating and using advanced technologies that provide a broad range of scientific, technological, and operational disciplines with core competencies in emergency response operations and support, remote sensing, and applied science and technologies in support of counterterrorism and radiological and nuclear incident response.
RSL provides force and facility protection to U.S. domestic and international assets and activities. RSL and Global Security Mission Directorate subject matter experts conduct facility and site vulnerability assessments in order to design, install, and maintain facility early warning systems for nuclear/radiological, biological, and chemical weapons. RSL also performs similar assessments and provides technical security on a temporary basis for specific events, such as the State of the Union Address, the Olympic Games, and other National Special Security Events.
RSL is comprised of scientists, engineers, technologists, pilots, operations specialists, and administrators — many of whom hold PhDs — which provides the laboratory with a wide-diversity of education and experience. Working in sophisticated laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment, these personnel work to advance the technological and operational capabilities of the emergency response teams and other RSL customers and stakeholders.
