NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL 

REVIEW BOARD 

Board Meeting 

The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical 

Review Board will hold a virtual public 

meeting on August 24, 2021. 

Board meeting: August 24, 2021—The 

U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review 

Board will hold an online virtual public 

meeting to review information on the 

Department of Energy’s (DOE) 

technology development activities 

related to packaging, drying, and dry 

storage of DOE aluminum-clad spent 

nuclear fuel (SNF). 

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 an online virtual public meeting on 

Tuesday, August 24, 2021, to review 

information on the U.S. Department of 

Energy’s (DOE) technology development 

activities related to packaging, drying, 

and dry storage of DOE aluminum-clad 

spent nuclear fuel (SNF). 

The meeting will begin at 11:30 a.m. 

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and is 

scheduled to adjourn at 5:10 p.m. EDT. 

Speakers representing the DOE Office of 

Environmental Management and the 

national laboratories conducting the 

work for DOE will report on DOE’s 

technology development program on 

aluminum-clad SNF packaging, drying, 

and dry storage. Speakers will describe 

DOE’s program, including plans and 

goals, scope, and technical approach to 

better understand the characteristics 

and performance of aluminum-clad SNF 

that will be packaged and sealed into 

canisters designed for storage, 

transportation and disposal. Speakers 

will address the primary challenge to 

extended dry storage of aluminum-clad 

SNF, which is centered on the behavior 

of hydrated oxides and radiolytic 

breakdown of associated adsorbed and 

chemically-bound water. Laboratory 

speakers will address drying of 

aluminum-clad SNF surrogates, and 

radiolytic gas generation during storage 

in unsealed canisters and during 

extended dry storage (>50 years) in 

sealed canisters. The final speaker will 

describe efforts to develop remote 

sensors for measuring pressure, 

temperature, humidity, and hydrogen 

gas concentration inside a dry storage 

canister containing aluminum-clad SNF. 

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 

included in the meeting record, which 

will be posted on the Board’s website 

after the meeting. An archived recording 

of the meeting will be available on the 

Board’s website following the meeting. 

The transcript of the meeting will be 

available on the Board’s website by 

October 24, 2021. 

The Board was established in the 

Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act 

of 1987 as an independent federal 

agency in the Executive Branch to 

evaluate the technical and scientific 

validity of DOE activities related to the 

management and disposal of SNF and 

high-level radioactive waste, and to 

provide objective expert advice to 

Congress and the Secretary of Energy on 

these issues. Board members are experts 

in their fields and are appointed to the 

Board by the President from a list of 

candidates submitted by the National 

Academy of Sciences. The Board reports 

its findings, conclusions, and 

recommendations to Congress and the 

Secretary of Energy. All Board reports, 

correspondence, congressional 

testimony, and meeting transcripts and 

related materials are posted on the 

Board’s website.
