Abstract

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.

Rationale for the Performance Specification: This document provides the rationale for the specifications for the standardized transportation, aging, and
disposal (STAD) canister systems provided in Performance Specification for Standardized
Transportation, Aging, and Disposal Canister Systems, FCRD-NFST-2014-000579, Rev. 2, referred to as
STAD Spec herein. The STAD Spec was developed to support STAD canister system studies and potential
research, development, and demonstration activities. Requirements in the specification may evolve with
time based on results from analyses, experiments, design studies, system evaluations and demonstrations,
as well as other factors.
