Dry Storage Cask Inventory Assessment, Revision 2

The report, Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste Inventory Report(FCRDNFST- 2013-000263, Rev.4), provides information on the inventory of commercial spent fuel, referred to in this report as used nuclear fuel (UNF), as well as Government-owned UNF and High Level Waste (HLW) in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) complex. Inventory forecasts for commercial UNF were made for a few selected scenarios of future commercial nuclear power generation involving the existing reactor fleet including one scenario involving reactors under construction.

Cost Implications of an Interim Storage Facility in the Waste Management System

This report provides an evaluation of the cost implications of incorporating a consolidated interim storage facility (ISF) into the waste management system (WMS). Specifically, the impacts of the timing of opening an ISF relative to opening a repository were analyzed to understand the potential effects on total system costs.

Centralized Dry Storage of Nuclear Fuel: Lessons for U.S. Policy from Industry Experience and Fukushima

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.

Decontamination of Hot Cells K-1, K-3, M-1, M-3, and A-1, M-Wing, Building 200: Project Final Report

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.

Assessment of Disposal Options for DOE-Managed High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel

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
