Established in 1987 as a federally funded research and development center, the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA®) is sponsored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
The overall mission of the CNWRA is to resolve technical and regulatory issues related to a potential geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.
Evolving from and expanding on its initial mission, CNWRA has developed a unique and powerful range of technical expertise, computer software, laboratory facilities, and field research sites. The Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses focuses these capabilities on solving and addressing complex earth sciences and engineering problems related to:
In addition to providing comprehensive technical assistance and research support to the NRC, the CNWRA extends its expertise to other U.S. government agencies within a multidisciplinary, integrated framework. CNWRA now performs work for commercial clients as well as local, state, and foreign governments and agencies with responsibilities related to radioactive materials.
