The objective of this calculation is to determine the dose rates on the external surfaces of the waste package (WP) containing two Hanford defense high-level waste (DHLW) glass canisters and two Hanford multi-canister overpacks (MCO). Each MCO is loaded with the N Reactor spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The information provided by the sketches attached to this calculation is that of the potential design for the WP type considered in this calculation.

The purpose of this calculation is to characterize the criticality safety aspects of N-Reactor fuel stored in a Department of Energy spent nuclear fuel (DOE-SNF) canister that contains four Multi-Canister Overpacks (MCO's). These calculations will be done to support the analysis that will be done to demonstrate concept viability related to pre-emplacement storage and use in the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR) environment for the pre-closure time frame.
