DOE Seeks Input on Federal Consolidated Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel
Request for Information Responses Due Sept. 5, 2024
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a request for information (RFI) to identify industry partners interested in contributing to the development of federal consolidated interim storage facilities for the management of spent nuclear fuel. DOE is also seeking information from parties interested in providing engineering design, project management, integration, and other services needed to build and manage consolidated interim storage facilities.
DOE is seeking input on the following key areas:
- Improvements to the draft performance work statement
- Technical assessment of the work scope and marketplace options
- Multidisciplinary expertise and experience required
- Evaluation criteria for the solicitation
- Resource requirements and regulatory risks
- Projected timeline and potential time-saving measures
- Strategies to include small business participation
This RFI is open to all interested parties who wish to comment or have questions on DOE’s planned solicitation approach, acquisition strategy, and other relevant requirements for federal consolidated interim storage facilities. Interested parties are invited to submit their responses electronically by 6 PM EST on September 5, 2024.
The comments and feedback collected will help inform a competitive request for proposals (RFP) for the engineering design of a federal consolidated interim storage facility.
Federal consolidated interim storage facilities are just one piece of DOE’s broader strategy to establish an integrated waste management system that includes transportation, storage, and eventual disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.
