Funding for transporting nuclear waste

This week $16 million was made available through a new High-Assay Low-Enrichment (HALEU) Transportation Package Funding Opportunity to research, develop, and acquire Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing for HALEU transportation packages. The goal is developing long-term economical solutions to transport HALEU. 

“Transportation is the key link connecting all parts of our domestic HALEU supply chain,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy Dr. Mike Goff.
