Welcome to GC-859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey

The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Standard Contract Management, administers the Nuclear Fuel Data Survey using Energy Information Administration (EIA) Form GC-859, most recently using a web-application managed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The GC-859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey collects information on permanently discharged spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from commercial nuclear power reactors, including assembly level SNF characteristics and storage details. Prior data collections were conducted annually from 1983 through 1995 and then periodically. The most recent collection covers data through December 31, 2022.

Summary tables are provided below by reactor type. Data by nuclear power plant from the survey has been incorporated into the Spent Nuclear Fuel and Reprocessing Waste Inventory report, PNNL-33938, Rev. 1. If access to additional detailed data is required, please contact the PNNL GC-859 Survey Team at gc859help@pnnl.gov.
