A brief document by the NRC that gives a slightly more detailed explanation of the physical components of spent fuel storage. This document includes diagrams and photographs illustrating fuel rods and assemblies, a storage pool, the construction of dry casks, and an ISFSI. It describes the safety, radiological, and thermal performance of each storage type.

A document by the American Association of Railroads describing recommended operating practices for railroads carrying hazardous materials. The scope of hazardous materials is not limited to radiological material. Their recommendations include notifications, emergency response information, and other operating best practices.
