Form GC–859 collects data on spent nuclear fuel from all utilities that operate commercial nuclear reactors and from all others that possess irradiated fuel from commercial nuclear reactors. Data from the survey are used by personnel from DOE Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), DOE Office of Environmental Management (EM), and the national laboratories to meet their research objectives of developing a range of options and supporting analyses that facilitate informed choices about how best to manage spent nuclear fuel (SNF).

The burden hours per response for each type of respondent increased by 20 hours for each respondent category (operating reactors: 100 hours, shutdown reactors: 60 hours, storage sites: 40 hours, and test/research reactors: 40 hours). This makes the weighted average burden approximately 91 hours based on an estimated 125 respondents, an increase from the weighted average of 67.5 hours in 2013 for 138 respondents. Additionally, 5 operating reactors closed and ceased operations. Shutdown reactors decreased by 1 and storage facilities decreased by 1. 6 research/test reactors are considered out of scope for this survey and are no longer required to complete Form GC-859. The loss of these facilities reduced the total of survey respondents by 13 from 138 to 125.
