<h2>Phase 1 Presentations (continued)</h2>

<h2>Lunch</h2>

<h2>Review Generic Work Process Diagram</h2>

<p>-Reach agreement on a pre-prepared flowchart and all of the functions that are necessary to process SNF using canister-based systems</p>

<p>-Categorize plants by their capabilities and constraints</p>

<h2>Options Identification</h2>

<p>Brainstorm options, ideas and recommendations. Things to consider include:</p>

<p>-Options to perform critical functions, e.g. canister closure, drying, welding</p>

<p>-Options to automate</p>

<p>-Past endeavors that are worth a second look</p>

<p>-Use of alternate materials or resources</p>

<p>-Special features on the canister systems to optimize process</p>

<p>-Modification of existing systems, structures and components</p>

<p><strong>Workshop – Day 2</strong></p>

<p>Energy<em>Solutions</em> Office, 6350 Stevens Forest Road, Suite 200, Columbia, MD 21046.</p>

<h2>Wednesday, November 5th, 2014</h2>

<h2>Options Down-Select</h2>

<p>-Evaluate advantages and disadvantages of each candidate operational approach, implementations risks (e.g. licensing) and proposed solutions to mitigate risks.</p>

<p>-Can the approaches be grouped based on the different categories of plants?</p>

<p>-Eliminate impractical operational approaches</p>

<h2>Break</h2>

<h2>Confirm Options</h2>

<p>-Review chosen operational approaches and confirm that they are the most promising technically feasible ones.</p>

<p>-Are there any aspects of eliminated operational approaches, which are worth keeping on the back burner or pursuing further?</p>

<p>-Ensure all options, uncertainties and constraints are captured</p>

<h2>Working Lunch</h2>
