This study provides a technical basis for informing policy decisions regarding strategies for the management and permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) in the United States requiring geologic isolation. Relevant policy questions this study can help inform include the following: Is a “one-size-fits–all” repository a good strategic option for disposal? Do
The main question before the Transportation and Storage Subcommittee was whether the United States should change its approach to storing and transporting spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) while one or more disposal facilities are established.
This is a copy of the non-proprietary version of Revision 15 of the HI-STAR 100 safety analysis report (SAR). This version of the SAR contains information pertinent to the Humboldt Bay specific MPC-HB canister and the HI-STAR 100 HB transportation cask.
The Fukushima nuclear event of March 2011 dramatically revealed the potential risks of holding significant spent nuclear fuel at wet pools requiring continuous water circulation to maintain safe cooling. The housings for four spent fuel pools were badly damaged, and all pools lost cooling and nearly suffered fuel exposure. These conditions had the potential to result in catastrophic radiation release, rivaling or exceeding safety concerns over the nuclear reactors themselves.
This is the final report for the Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E) Building 200
M-Wing Hot Cells Decontamination Project. The purpose of the project was to practically eliminate
the radioactive emissions of Rn-220 to the environment and to restore the hot cells to an empty
restricted use-condition. About 96.2 TBq (2,600 curies) per year of Rn-220 was being emitted at the
start of the project from the radioactive contaminants left in the hot cells at the end of the ANL-E
Proof-of-Breeding program work in 1985.

The Cyclic Integrated Reversible-Bending Fatigue Tester (CIRFT) can be used for
investigating the vibration integrity of spent nuclear fuel during transportation.This report is the R&D 100 submission related to the CIRFT.
This three-volume report serves several purposes. The first volume provides an introduction to the engineered materials effort for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project. It defines terms and outlines the history of selection and
characterization of these materials. A summary of the recent engineered barrier system materials characterization workshop is presented, and the current candidate materials are listed. The second volume tabulates design data for engineered

This report was prepared for the Secretary of Energy by a team of federal and contractor
personnel led by the Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy. The report assesses the technical
options for the permanent disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel
(SNF) managed by the Department of Energy. Specifically, it considers whether DOE-managed HLW and
SNF should be disposed of with commercial SNF and HLW in one geologic repository or whether there

This report describes a task performed in the Energy Material Transport,
Now Through 2000, System Characteristics and Potential Problems (Transportation
Problems) Project. This project was sponsored by the Department of Energy,
Environmental Control Technology Division. The DOE Project Monitor was
R. F. Garrison; Project Manager at PNL was J. G. DeSteese. A continuation of
the cask turnaround study is currently supported by the Transportation Technology
Center at Sandia National Laboratories, the DOE1s lead laboratory for Transportation
A Program Research and Development Announcement (PRDA) was
initiated by DOE to solicit from industry new and novel ideas for
improvements in the nuclear waste management system. GA Technologies
Inc. was contracted to study a system utilizing a universal canister
which could be loaded at the reactor and used throughout the waste
management system.

The objective of this siting study work is to support DOE in evaluating integrated advanced nuclear plant and ISFSI deployment options in the future. This study looks at several nuclear power plant growth scenarios that consider the locations of existing and planned commercial nuclear power plants integrated with the establishment of consolidated interim spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs).
HR1146 Report - Response to the Illinois General Assembly concerning House Resolution 1146.
This report is part of study to identify reference geologic disposal concepts for generic studies in the Used Fuel Disposition R&D Campaign. This report summarizes the work on both enclosed and open modes, which has been expanded to include thermal analysis of open modes, a range of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) burnup, additional disposal system description, and cost estimation.
The Standard Review Plan for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel provides NRC guidance for the review and approval of applications for packages used to transport spent nuclear fuel under 10 CFR Part 71.
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
The purpose of this study is to analyze the costs and risks associated with transporting spent fuel by barge. The barge movements would be made in combination with rail movements to transport spent fuel from plants to a repository. For the purposes of this analysis, three candidate repository sites are analyzed: Yucca Mountain, Nevada, Deaf Smith, Texas, and Hanford, Washington. This report complements a report prepared by Sandia National Laboratories in 1984 that analyzes the costs and risks of transporting spent
fuel by rail and by truck to nine candidate repository sites.
