NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL
REVIEW BOARD
Virtual Public Board Meeting To
Review the U.S. Department of
Energy’s Activities To Evaluate
Advanced Nuclear Fuels
Board meeting: May 12–13, 2021—
The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical
Review Board will hold a virtual public
meeting to review information on the
U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)
activities to evaluate advanced nuclear
fuels including accident tolerant fuels
for light water reactors and the impact
of these fuels on spent nuclear fuel
management and disposal.

Pursuant to its authority under
section 5051 of Public Law 100–203,
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act
(NWPAA) of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear
Waste Technical Review Board will
hold a virtual public meeting on
Wednesday, May 12, 2021, and
Thursday, May 13, 2021, to review
information on the U.S. Department of
Energy’s (DOE) activities to evaluate
advanced nuclear fuels including
accident tolerant fuels for light water
reactors and the impact of these fuels on
spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management
and disposal.
The meeting will begin on both days
at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT) and is scheduled to adjourn at
5:00 p.m. EDT on both days. On May 12,
speakers representing the DOE Office of
Nuclear Energy and the national
laboratories conducting the work for
DOE will report on DOE’s activities to
support and evaluate these fuels both
prior to, and after, their use in nuclear
reactors. Speakers will describe DOE’s
program, including its purpose, scope,
goals, and technical approach for
obtaining information that may be
needed for managing the advanced
nuclear fuels including accident tolerant
fuels once removed from the reactors
and disposing of the SNF. A
representative from the nuclear industry
will also discuss efforts to develop new
metallic fuel for light water reactors.
Speakers from the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission will describe
their plans and progress to assess the
regulatory implications of accident
tolerant fuels and their potential impact
on storage, transportation, and disposal.
On May 13, speakers from Switzerland,
Sweden, and the United Kingdom will
describe their respective efforts to
address the introduction and use of
advanced nuclear fuels including
accident tolerant fuels for light water
reactors and the impact of these fuels on
SNF management and disposal. The
meeting will end with a panel
discussion of speakers from both days of
the meeting. A detailed meeting agenda
will be available on the Board’s website
at www.nwtrb.gov approximately one
week before the meeting.
The meeting will be open to the
public, and opportunities for public
comment will be provided. Details on
how to submit public comments during
the meeting will be provided on the
Board’s website along with the details
for viewing the meeting. A limit may be
set on the time allowed for the
presentation of individual remarks.
However, written comments of any
length may be submitted to the Board
staff by mail or electronic mail. All
comments received in writing will be
