Reviewing alternatives for the resumption of transient testing Resumption of operations at the Transient Reactor Test Facility at the Idaho National Laboratory Installation of new hot cell and hodoscope in the Annular Core Research Reactor at Sandia National Laboratories No action Completion of an Environmental Assessment and the selection of a preferred alternative are expected in 2013 Transient testing capability is needed by 2018 to support Accident Tolerant Fuels program Reestablishing Capabilities-Transient Testing Annular Core Research Reactor TREAT core Slide 13 Office of Nuclear Energy 13May 20, 2013 Property Management Workshop Challenges Funding Fiscally constrained budgets Maintaining Aging Core Nuclear Infrastructure Integration of Infrastructure-related Activities Across 3 organizations which are all facing budget pressure to assure that nothing falls off the table Sustainability Challenges Fuel/Fleet Reduction: Remote location drives up costs, requires bus fleet to transport workers Energy/Water Intensity: no further opportunities at current time due to extremely low energy/water costs. Unfunded Liability At Y-12 facility, the Beta-3 Calutron Facility is part of the proposed Manhattan Project National Park Slide 14 Office of Nuclear Energy 14May 20, 2013 Property Management Workshop Strategies to Meet Challenges Good Working Relationships Collaborate with Naval Reactors and Environmental Management in areas of common needs and interests Leveraging Investments Meet sustainability goals by more fully integrating energy efficient maintenance investments Maintain, revitalize and sustain existing infrastructure and capabilities, and where gaps exist, provide direct programmatic funds for research and development activities at other sites Improve relevant university and college infrastructures for conducting nuclear energy related research and development Support collaboration through the Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility to facilitate the prospect of advancements in basic and applied nuclear research and development Slide 15 Office of Nuclear Energy 15May 20, 2013 Property Management Workshop Best Practices Idaho National Laboratory Ten Year Site Plan last years plan rated excellent IMAP Quoted as a best practice in the implementation report for EO 13604 Improving Performance of Federal Permitting and Review of Infrastructure Projects Slide 16 Office of Nuclear Energy 16May 20, 2013 Property Management Workshop Summary Provide infrastructure investments that will meet the needs of and provide the best return to the Nuclear Energy program Provide continued availability of unique nuclear Research and Development capabilities and infrastructure Continue to pursue a range of approaches to enable the Nuclear Energy mission
