Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste Inventory Report, prepared for DOE, September 2019
83,500 MT of commercial spent fuel & 2300 MT of DOE spent fuel
“This report provides information on the inventory of commercial spent fuel (SNF) and high-level
radioactive waste (HLW) in the United States, as well as non-commercial SNF and HLW in the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) complex. Actual or estimated quantitative values for current inventories are
provided along with inventory forecasts derived from examining different future commercial nuclear power
generation scenarios. The report also includes select information on the characteristics associated with the
wastes examined (e.g., type, packaging, heat generation rate, decay curves). This report was produced for
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support various analyses on options for storage and transport of
SNF and HLW and sponsored by DOE’s Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition (SFWD).”
