FOIA Documents Confirm Profiteers Still Pursuing Scheme to Dump Highly Radioactive German Spent Fuel (Graphite \u201cPebbles\u201d) at SRS \u2013 Should be Terminated<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SRS and the German entity J\u00fclicher Entsorgungsgesellschaft f\u00fcr Nuklearanlagen (JEN) are still working on the scheme to import German highly radioactive graphite spent fuel from the J\u00fclich, Germany storage site to SRS for reprocessing and dumping. That this bad idea to import the nuclear waste in large CASTOR casks is continuing has been confirmed in documents obtained by SRS Watch in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request received on April 7, 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SRS Watch first alerted the public in 2013 \u2013 at a SRS Citizens Advisory Board meeting \u2013 that the US-Germany waste deal was at hand, forcing SRS to admit that was indeed the case. Pursuit of he deal has been dragging on since 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The last SRS-JEN agreement expired on February 29, 2020 but a new agreement runs through February 2021, though what work is continuing is vague \u2013 they don\u2019t want you to know what\u2019s up \u2013 and how much JEN is paying SRS is hidden.  The spent fuel in questions is in the form of uranium-impregnated balls (pebbles) that were used in the AVR and THTR gas-cooled reactors, closed for decades. Some of the uranium is HEU from the US, but the US DOE\u2019s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has determined there is no proliferation risk in leaving the spent fuel for disposal in Germany, which was always the plan until profiteers entered the scene:  DOE memo on no proliferation risk of AVR spent fuel August 1 2013<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOIA response documents, dated April 2, 2020 \u2013 SRS-JEN \u201cWork for Others Agreement,\u201d Modification #7, signed February 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WFO mod #7 FOIA rc vd A<\/a>p<\/a>ril 7 2020<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the reactors involved were the experimental gas-cooled AVR & THTR reactors \u2013 and not research reactors \u2013 it is illegal to export this material for reprocessing and dumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SRS Watch also obtained SRS-JEN \u201cWork for Others Agreement\u201d #6, September 2019, and two attached documents indicated plans to import 33 unirradiated graphite balls and a small amount of irradiated graphite material, but that import plan has run into snags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOIA response SRS JEN WFO attachment 2 irradiated balls signed Oct 15 2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on information obtained by a member of the German Bundestag and posted on April 13, 2020, there has been no export of these materials to SRS, as issuance of export licenses remain stalled and under review: \u201cNuclear waste J\u00fclich: No fuel exported to the USA yet\u201d \u2013 \u201cAtomm\u00fcll J\u00fclich: Noch kein Export von Brennstoff in die USA erfolgt\u201d \u2013 see blog post:  https:\/\/www.hubertus-zdebel.de\/atommuell-juelich-noch-kein-export-von-brennstoff-in-die-usa-erfolgt\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SRS Watch has asked DOE to terminate the \u201cWork for Others\u201d agreement with JEN. There has so far been no response from DOE.
