West Valley Spent Fuel Shipment Project - Lessons Learned

On July 17, 2003, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) completed the movement of 125 commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies from the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) to the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The assemblies were transported by rail in two dual-purpose shipping and storage casks specifically designed for the one shipment to the INEEL and for interim storage.

CRITICALITY SAFETY ANALYSIS OF AS-LOADED SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL CASKS

Initial Standardized Canister System Evaluation

This report documents an initial evaluation of integrating standardized canisters into the nuclear waste management system, which is an intermediate step in the quantitative assessment of standardization. This is a technical report that does not take into account the contractual limitations under the Standard Contract (10 CFR Part 961) that DOE has in place with nuclear utilities. Under the Standard Contract, DOE is obligated to accept only bare UNF. Acceptance of canistered UNF would require a mutual agreement to modify the contract.

Submission ofNAC-LWT Safety Analysis Report (SAR), Revision 44 Incorporating the Highly Enriched Uranyl Nitrate Liquid (HEUNL) Enhancements and the SLOWPOKE Fuel Core Approved Applications

Safety Analysis report for the NAC International, Legal Weight Truck spent fuel shipping cask (NAC-LWT.) Shipment of the NAC-LWT cask can be made by truck, ISO container, and/or by railcar, as a Type B(U)F-96 package, as defined in 10 CFR 71.4. The NAC-LWT cask is a stainless steel and lead shielded cask with a surrounding water-ethylene glycol neutron shield. The cask, which has capacity to ship 1 PWR or 2 BWR used nuclear fuel assemblies, is designed to be transported using legal-weight trucks having a fully loaded gross vehicle weight that does not exceed 80,000 lbs.

Performance Specification and Rationale for the Standardized Transportation, Aging, and Disposal Canister Systems

Performance Specification: This performance specification document addresses use of a standardized transportation, aging, and disposal (STAD) canister system in the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) waste management system. This document was developed to support STAD canister system studies and potential research, development, and demonstration activities. Requirements in this specification may evolve with time based on results from analyses, experiments, design studies, system evaluations and demonstrations, as well as other factors.

Options for the Consolidated Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

This issue brief is one in a series being developed by the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Nuclear Waste Initiative, which is exploring ways to advance progress toward durable solutions for managing and disposing of the nation’s inventory of spent nuclear fuel and highlevel radioactive waste. This brief focuses on options for moving forward with the development of one or more facilities for the consolidated storage of spent fuel from commercial nuclear power plants. It is based on a longer analysis prepared for the Bipartisan

State Regulatory Authority Over Nuclear Waste Facilities

This issue brief explores options for providing states and federal agencies with new regulatory authorities as one potentially critical element in making a consent-based siting regime for nuclear waste facilities work. It summarizes key points from a longer analysis prepared by Van Ness Feldman LLC (VNF) for the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Nuclear Waste Initiative, which is exploring ways to advance the BRC recommendations. Specifically, VNF looked at whether an arrangement, in which federal agencies give a state some form of regulatory authority over

NFST Overview - Nuclear Decommissioning & Used Fuel Strategy Summit

NFST Overview presentation given at the Nuclear Decommissioning & Used Fuel Strategy Summit, Charlotte SC, October 5, 2015.

Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel Handling in Air Study

This CSNF handling study evaluates the handling of CSNF in air and packaging activities. It evaluates a facility design, further identifies the fuel performance issues, develops the consequences, and presents the operational considerations associated with the routine handling of CSNF in air. Emphasis is on the process of oxidation of uranium dioxide fuel and additional oxidation-driven failure of fuel assembly cladding. Key issues are identified, and plans to address these issues are proposed.
