About this event

Instructors: Dr. Bob Sindelar is a Laboratory Fellow at the Savannah River National Laboratory. He has nearly 40 years’ experience in providing solutions to challenges across the nuclear fuel cycle. Dr. Jim Marra worked at SRNL progressing to the level of Advisory Engineer. He served as CNTA’s Executive Director from 2016-2023. Paul Ebel is a degreed Nuclear Engineer with a career that started in the Nuclear Submarine Service, then with the Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Plant in Barnwell, SC, and finally with his own nuclear engineering company supporting the world-wide nuclear industry. Description: Used nuclear fuel is a byproduct of the gigawatts of carbon free electricity our nation generates from nuclear power plants. There are currently 93 operating plants in 28 states that generate approximately 20% of the nation’s electricity. The plants generate about 2,000 metric tons of used fuel each year and currently there are about 86,000 metric tons of spent fuel being safely managed and stored. This class will provide a review of spent nuclear management and storage, options for interim storage and permanent disposal, and prospects for fuel recycling. Session 1: Used nuclear fuel inventory, management, and storage. Session 2: Used fuel interim storage and geologic disposal. Session 3: History and prospects for used fuel recycling.
