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

Lessons Learned from the West Valley Spent Nuclear Fuel Shipment within the United States
Lessons Learned from the West Valley Spent Nuclear Fuel Shipment within the United States
This paper describes the lessons learned from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) transportation of
125 DOE-owned commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies by railroad from the West Valley Demonstration
Project to the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). On July 17, 2003, DOE made
the largest single shipment of commercial SNF in the history of the United States. This was a highly visible and
political shipment that used two specially designed Type B transportation and storage casks. This paper describes

Monitored Retrievable Storage Submission to Congress-Rev. 1
Monitored Retrievable Storage Submission to Congress-Rev. 1
In response to Section 141 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the Department of Energy hereby submits a proposal for the construction of a facility for monitored retrievable storage (MRS). The approval of this proposal by the Congress would specifically--
• Approve the construction of an MRS facility at a site on the Clinch River in the Roane County portion of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
• Limit the storage capacity at the MRS site to 15,000 metric tons of uranium.
