1. INL SNF PROGRAM presented to National Spent Nuclear Fuel Program Technical Exchange Meeting November 8 - 9, 2005 Washington, DC presented by R. O. Ramsey INL SNF Program Manager U. S. Department of Energy Idaho Falls, Idaho November 8, 2005

2. CPP-651 Unirradiated. Fuel Storage Facility

3. 1.1 INL's SNM Management Strategy Empty CPP-651 by 04/30/05 (accelerated from 09/30/09) –CPP-651 is the only EM-managed Category I SNM Facility at the INL. Emptying the facility will reduce overall security and program costs at INTEC. Anticipated Benefits: –Consolidation and dispositioning of SNM with appropriate offices at appropriate sites. –Close a Security Category Level I facility. Estimated S&S savings: ~$2M/yr. –Emptying of the Facility. Estimated Ops savings: ~$600K/yr.

4. 1.1 INL's SNM Management Strategy Status and Accomplishments: 07/05/05 – Project is complete. This project dispositioned to appropriate programs, site and/or offices What:10 material types (2,221.1 kg U) How:Repackaged and shipped offsite From:3,978 original containers/items Into:722 shipping containers. In most cases, appropriate dispositioning allows beneficial reuse of valuable national resources. 07/19/05 – DOE-ID approved the downgrade of CPP-651 from a Material Access Area to a Property Protection Area.

5. 1.1 INEEL's SNM Management Strategy Disposition all Remaining EM-Managed Materials by 09/30/09 –Materials located outside of CPP-651 are likely to require disposal. Status and Accomplishments: –Other program offices have been alerted to the availability of these materials. –No interest was the response. –Highest risk material (U-233) has been evaluated. –Dispositioning discussions have been initiated. –A basic plan has been established. √
