Vacuum Drying Test Plan - Public Version
NRC initiated a research activity with the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA®) to develop a conceptual test plan for measuring the quantity of residual water remaining in a canister following vacuum drying to the criterion referenced in NUREG–1536 (NRC, 2010). The test plan will be used to help NRC assess options for independently performing an experimental program or to support engagements with industry or the Department of Energy should they undertake a similar effort.
