NAC International Inc. received a $3.34 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy under the Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration program (CFDA 81.121), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029. The awardee will design, test, and obtain Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) certification of conformance (COC) for a new transportation packaging system specifically engineered for High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) oxides, metals, and finished fuel. The packaging system will be optimized for favorable handling and product transfer characteristics while integrating seamlessly into existing nuclear fuel infrastructure. The transportation packaging solution is intended to support the domestic HALEU fuel supply chain by providing practical packaging capabilities for enrichers, fuel fabricators, and operators of small modular reactors (SMRs). This project directly advances DOE's nuclear energy objectives by addressing technical and infrastructure challenges in the fuel cycle development sector. NAC International, an established nuclear fuel cycle consulting and technology company with extensive experience in radioactive materials transportation and nuclear fuel handling for federal agencies, is well-positioned to execute this research and development initiative at its facility in Berkeley Lake, Georgia.Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary
