U.S. Regulatory Recommendations for Actinide-Only Burnup Credit in Transport and Storage Casks
U.S. Regulatory Recommendations for Actinide-Only Burnup Credit in Transport and Storage Casks
In July 1999, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Spent Fuel Project Office
(SFPO) issued Interim Staff Guidance 8 Revision 1 (ISG8R1) to provide recommendations for the use
of burnup credit in storage and transport of pressurized-water reactor (PWR) spent fuel. Subsequent to
the issuance of ISG8R1, the NRC Office of Regulatory Research (RES) has directed an effort to
investigate the technical basis for extending the criteria and recommendations of ISG8R1 to allow

End Effect keff Cias Curve for Actinide-Only Burnup Credit Casks
End Effect keff Cias Curve for Actinide-Only Burnup Credit Casks
A conservative end effect keff bias curve for actinide-only burnup credit casks is presented
in this paper. Rather than performing axially burnup-dependent analysis, cask designers can, if
they choose to, analyze casks with a uniform axial burnup (at assembly average burnup value) and
add the keff bias values to conservatively bound the actinide-only end effect. Earlier studies
suggested 1-3% increase in keff to account for the end effect, but they included fission products
as well as actinides for their analyses.
Transportation Planning and Execution: Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel
Transportation Planning and Execution: Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel
There have been roughly 2,600 shipments of commercial spent fuel in this country over the past three decades or so. Although this is not an enormous volume by European standards, it is nevertheless significant. These shipments fall into two general categories: individual and "campaign."
There have been a number of individual shipments where lead test assembly fuel was shipped from a reactor to a laboratory for examination. This is an important part of reactor fuel development.

Validation of important fission product evaluations through CERES integral benchmarks
Validation of important fission product evaluations through CERES integral benchmarks
Optimization of energy resources suggests increased fuel residence in reactor cores and hence improved
fission product evaluations are required. For thermal reactors the fission product cross sections in the JEF2.2 and
JEFF3.1 libraries plus new evaluations from WPEC23 are assessed through modelling the CERES experiment in
the DIMPLE reactor. The analysis uses the lattice code WIMS10. Cross sections for 12 nuclides are assessed. The
thermal cross section and low energy resonance data for 147,152Sm and 155Gd are accurate to within 4%. Similar data
