DISPOSABILITY OF LOADED U.S. DUAL-PURPOSE CANISTERS FROM A CRITICALITY STANDPOINT
DISPOSABILITY OF LOADED U.S. DUAL-PURPOSE CANISTERS FROM A CRITICALITY STANDPOINT
This paper assesses the feasibility of direct disposal of loaded dual-purpose canisters (DPCs) from a criticality standpoint by evaluating attributes that could be credited to justify that the DPCs remain subcritical over a repository performance period. This study investigates the uncredited criticality margin associated with actual fuel loading compared with the regulatory licensing design basis limits and evaluates the percentage of DPCs that remain subcritical solely based on the uncredited criticality margin.

Understanding the changing nuclear and mechanical characteristics of used nuclear fuel (UNF) over time and how these changing characteristics affect storage, transportation, and disposal options can require many tools and types of data. To streamline analysis capabilities for the waste management system, a comprehensive, integrated data and analysis tool has been assembled—UNF-Storage, Transportation & Disposal Analysis Resource and Data System (UNF-ST&DARDS).
