The purpose of this study is to analyze the costs and risks associated with transporting spent fuel by barge. The barge movements would be made in combination with rail movements to transport spent fuel from plants to a repository. For the purposes of this analysis, three candidate repository sites are analyzed: Yucca Mountain, Nevada, Deaf Smith, Texas, and Hanford, Washington. This report complements a report prepared by Sandia National Laboratories in 1984 that analyzes the costs and risks of transporting spent
fuel by rail and by truck to nine candidate repository sites.

The Standard Review Plan for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel provides NRC guidance for the review and approval of applications for packages used to transport spent nuclear fuel under 10 CFR Part 71.

This report is part of study to identify reference geologic disposal concepts for generic studies in the Used Fuel Disposition R&D Campaign. This report summarizes the work on both enclosed and open modes, which has been expanded to include thermal analysis of open modes, a range of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) burnup, additional disposal system description, and cost estimation.

HR1146 Report - Response to the Illinois General Assembly concerning House Resolution 1146.

The objective of this siting study work is to support DOE in evaluating integrated advanced nuclear plant and ISFSI deployment options in the future. This study looks at several nuclear power plant growth scenarios that consider the locations of existing and planned commercial nuclear power plants integrated with the establishment of consolidated interim spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs).

Lists Various TVA Activities Involving Spent Fuel

A Program Research and Development Announcement (PRDA) was
initiated by DOE to solicit from industry new and novel ideas for
improvements in the nuclear waste management system. GA Technologies
Inc. was contracted to study a system utilizing a universal canister
which could be loaded at the reactor and used throughout the waste
management system.

This report describes a task performed in the Energy Material Transport,
Now Through 2000, System Characteristics and Potential Problems (Transportation
Problems) Project. This project was sponsored by the Department of Energy,
Environmental Control Technology Division. The DOE Project Monitor was
R. F. Garrison; Project Manager at PNL was J. G. DeSteese. A continuation of
the cask turnaround study is currently supported by the Transportation Technology
Center at Sandia National Laboratories, the DOE1s lead laboratory for Transportation

This three-volume report serves several purposes. The first volume provides an
introduction to the engineered materials effort for the Yucca Mountain Site
Characterization Project. It defines terms and outlines the history of selection and
characterization of these materials. A summary of the recent engineered barrier
system materials characterization workshop is presented, and the current candidate
materials are listed.
