- Summary
- Aluminum-based spent nuclear fuel (Al-SNF) from foreign and domestic research reactors is being consolidated at the Savannah River Site (SRS) for ultimate disposal in the Mined Geologic Disposal System (MGDS). Most of the aluminum-based fuel material contains highly enriched uranium (HEU) (greater than 20 percent ²³⁵U), which poses a proliferation risk and challenges the preclusion of criticality events for disposal periods exceeding 10,000 years.
