Abstract
Understanding the changing nuclear and mechanical characteristics of used nuclear fuel (UNF) over time and how these changing characteristics affect storage, transportation, and disposal options can require many tools and types of data. To streamline analysis capabilities for the waste management system, a comprehensive, integrated data and analysis tool has been assembled—UNF-Storage, Transportation & Disposal Analysis Resource and Data System (UNF-ST&DARDS). UNF-ST&DARDS provides a unified domestic UNF system database and key analysis capabilities to support numerous DOE waste management and fuel cycle–related objectives, as well as providing the foundation for tracking UNF from reactor power production through ultimate disposition.
