NAC International Offers Range of Fuel Cycle Solutions for Advanced Reactor Developers
Advanced reactors (ARs) offer many operational advantages over traditional designs, including the ability to power applications beyond power generation, and we’ve all seen that they are generating a lot of interest in the media. Many new plans and projects have been announced over the past year, and now we are seeing several in the early stages of construction.
These designs create new challenges in waste management, because they often generate waste forms different from those generated by fuel assemblies found in conventional light water reactors. Many ARs also use different fuel forms, which call for different transportation requirements. This is where the NAC family of companies can help: We offer comprehensive, technology-driven solutions for AR developers throughout the nuclear fuel cycle, from transporting fuel to the operation of the plant, and to waste removal.
To help developers and their clients through the maze of options, NAC has produced a new flyer [link] outlining the range of solutions for AR projects covering every aspect of fuel cycle and nuclear waste management.
Our storage and transportation solutions cover multiple nuclear material types, including low-, intermediate- and high-level waste, spent nuclear fuel, and fresh fuel including High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU). We can characterize and develop waste solutions for diverse AR waste streams including TRISO fuels, molten salts, and more.
Our consulting and regulatory support offerings span novel materials, advanced fuel cycles, and strategic understanding of the rapidly evolving AR market. And our decades of industry experience give our clients the confidence to trust us to address their challenges.
In short, our expertise in storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, regulatory compliance, and strategic consulting ensures AR projects – like all the others we work on – can meet and exceed all necessary requirements and do so reliably and efficiently.
