This report represents completion of milestone deliverable M2SF-24SN010309082 Annual Status Update for OWL due on November 30, 2023. It contains the status of fiscal year 2023 (FY2023) updates for the Online Waste Library (OWL).
This FY2023 report is the second update to the Disposal Research (DR) Research and Development (R&D) 5-year plan for the Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) Campaign DR R&D activities. In the planning for FY2020 in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) NE-81 SFWST Campaign, the DOE requested development of a high-level summary plan for activities in the DR R&D program for the next five (5)-year period, with periodic updates to this summary plan. The DR R&D 5-year plan was provided to the DOE based initially on the FY2020 priorities and program structure (initial 2020 version of this 5-year plan) and provides a strategic summary guide to the work within the DR R&D technical areas (Control Accounts, CA), focusing on the highest priority technical thrusts. This 5-year plan is a living document (planned to be updated periodically) that provides review of SFWST R&D accomplishments (as seen on the 2021 revision of this 5-year plan), describes changes to technical R&D prioritization based on (a) progress in each technical area (including external technical understanding) with specific accomplishments and (b) any changes in SFWST Campaign objectives and/or funding levels (i.e., Program Direction). Updates to this 5-year plan include the DR R&D adjustments to high-priority knowledge gaps to be investigated in the near-term, as well as the updated longer-term DR R&D directions for the program activities. This plan fulfills the Milestone M2SF23SN010304083 in DR Work Package (WP) SF-23SN01030408 (GDSA - Framework Development – SNL).
