Feasibility Evaluation of Universal Container System

Presentation to Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board. Summarizes work performed for the EPRI report TR-101988 published in 1993 by EPRI. This examines a universal canister concept as well as a universal cask concept, and performs a systems analysis. Prepared by E.R. Johnson Associates Inc.

Application of Spatial Data Modeling Systems, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and Transportation Routing Optimization Methods for Evaluating Integrated Deployment of Interim Spent Fuel Storage Installations and Advanced Nuclear Plants

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).

Disposal Concepts/Thermal Load Management (FY11/12 Summary Report)

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.

NUREG-1617, Standard Review Plan for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel

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.

UNF-ST&DARDS presentation to WM2015

A comprehensive, integrated data and analysis tool—the Used Nuclear Fuel-Storage, Transportation & Disposal Analysis Resource and Data System (UNF-ST&DARDS) —is being developed for the US DOE Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Nuclear Fuels Storage and Transportation Planning Project (NFST). The overarching goal of UNF-ST&DARDS is to provide a comprehensive controlled source of technical data integrated with key analysis capabilities to characterize inputs to the overall US waste management system from reactor power production through ultimate disposition.

Spent Fuel Assembly Hardware: Characterization and 10 CFR 61 Classification of Waste Disposal Volume 1

This report (PNL-6906 Vol. 1) documents activation measurements and comparison with calculations for spent fuel assembly hardware.

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.

Community Involvement – An Engineering and Project Management Perspective on How to Use the Ongoing Social Science Research

Social Scientists such as Hank Jenkins-Smith from the University of Oklahoma have suggested that the structured evaluation of beliefs and preferences measured in annual survey and social media data streams can assist program managers in making nuclear facility siting programs responsive and adaptive to the evolution of nuclear narratives. This presentation will provide an engineering and project management perspective on how ongoing social science research can be used.

Storage and Transport Cask Data for Used Commercial Nuclear Fuel 2013 U.S. Edition

This document is a compilation of publically-available information on spent/used nuclear fuel storage and transport casks in use in the United States as of the summer of 2013. As such, it is a functional update and extension of JAI-582, “Shipping and Storage Cask Data For Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel,” originally published by JAI Corporation in March 2005[1]. This report is intended to provide a convenient reference for those with interest in, or those engaged in the production, handling, storage, transport, and disposition of spent/used commercial nuclear fuel.

Nuclear Waste Management: Key Attributes, Challenges, and Costs for the Yucca Mountain Repository and Potential Alternatives

The Yucca Mountain repository is designed to provide a permanent solution for managing nuclear waste, minimize the uncertainty of future waste safety, and enable DOE to begin fulfilling its legal obligation under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act to take custody of commercial waste, which began in 1998. However, project delays have led to utility lawsuits that DOE estimates are costing taxpayers about $12.3 billion in damages through 2020 and could cost $500 million per year after 2020, though the outcome of pending litigation may affect the government’s total liability.

Spent fuel storage and transport cask decontamination and modification

This publication is a compilation of international experience with cask contamination problems and decontamination practices. The objective is to represent current knowledge and experience as well as developments, trends and potential for new applications in this field. Furthermore, the report may assist in new design or modification of existing casks, cask handling systems and decontamination equipment. The annexes contain figures of several cask types for illustration.

Options for Management of Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste for Countries Developing New Nuclear Power Programmes

The IAEA has published guidance on particular elements of radioactive waste and spent fuel management, such as establishing nuclear technical and regulatory infrastructure, relevant financing schemes, national policy and strategies, multinational approaches and other aspects linked to building nuclear power plants. The present publication is intended to provide a concise summary of key issues related to the development of a sound radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel management system. It is designed to brief countries with small or newly established
