Optimizing Nuclear Waste and Advanced Reactor Disposal Systems
DOE
The program goal is to support the development of technologies that address significant challenges to closing the back-end of advanced reactor nuclear fuel cycles. Specifically, projects funded under the ONWARDS Program will develop and demonstrate sustainable technologies that will significantly improve the disposal impact of used nuclear fuel and other waste streams stemming from the implementation of AR fuel cycles by developing innovative and cost-effective approaches in reprocessing, material accountancy, and waste forms.
