DOE Informational Meeting on Nuclear Fuel Cycle Evaluation Metrics to be held November 8-9
As part of activities leading to a comprehensive evaluation and screening of nuclear fuel cycle options in 2013, the United States Department of Energy (USDOE) Office of Fuel Cycle Technologies (FCT) will hold an Informational Meeting on Nuclear Fuel Cycle Evaluation Metrics at the Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL, November 8-9, 2012. The objectives of this informational meeting are:
-
Describe the purpose and objectives of the 2013 Evaluation and Screening effort,
-
Discuss the nuclear fuel cycle evaluation metrics and the methodologies for evaluating them that have been developed within the USDOE FCT program office,
-
Obtain feedback on the metrics from the meeting participant.
The purpose of the Evaluation and Screening effort is to provide information to USDOE about the potential benefits and challenges of nuclear fuel cycle options (i.e., the complete nuclear energy system from mining to disposal) that can be used to strengthen the basis and provide guidance for the prioritization of research & development activities undertaken by the Office of Fuel Cycle Technologies.
