DOE SFWST Campaign R&D Roadmap Update

Draft Experimental Plan for Commercial SNF Degradation in Repository Environments with a Focus on Fracture Matrix Degradation

“…As noted in Section 2.0 above, the testing program will evolve to support the changing priorities throughout the SFWST R&D campaign. Although each individual test does not have a specific priority, proposed work to validate the FMDM shown in Table A-2 should be prioritized over the proposed work in Table A-3, consistent with priorities included in the DOE SFWST Campaign R&D roadmap (Sevougian et al, 2019).…”

“…The DOE SFWD research and development (R&D) roadmap (Sevougian et al, 2019) This draft experimental plan describes the proposed work, as well as ongoing tests, at various national laboratories within the scope of the work described above. There is considerable flexibility in the priority of the sequence, quantity, and duration of testing based on the maturity level of the SNF degradation models, overall disposal R&D activities, and the variety of existing techniques at the various national laboratories participating in the Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) campaign.…”
