Purpose

NRC is sponsoring public workshops on the SCALE/MELCOR non-LWR Fuel Cycle Demonstration Project. The workshops are part of the agency’s efforts to prepare for safety reviews of non-LWR license applications. On September 20, 2023, from 1 – 3 P.M., the NRC will host a workshop highlighting the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) nuclear fuel cycle. This workshop will be held via MS Teams and the following topics will be covered:
• An overview of a representative fuel cycle that covers enrichment and transportation of uranium hexafluoride (UF6), fresh fuel manufacturing, spent fuel transportation and storage, and spent fuel reprocessing;
• SCALE methods for predicting criticality, spent fuel fission product inventory and decay heats, as well as sample SCALE results; and,
• MELCOR methods and sample results for accident progression and fission product release to the environment.
