PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF COSTS AND RISKS OF TRANSPORTING SPENT FUEL BY BARGE
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.
NUREG-1617, Standard Review Plan for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel
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.
Disposal Concepts/Thermal Load Management (FY11/12 Summary Report)
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.
Overview - Potential Nuclear Plant Closings in Illinois
Illinois House Resolution 1146 adopted on May 29, 2014 requests the Illinois Commerce Commission, the Illinois Power Agency, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (collectively, “the Agencies”) to prepare reports addressing issues related to the premature closure of nuclear power plants.
HR 1146 further asks that the Agencies’ reports “include potential market-based solutions” to guard against premature closure of at-risk nuclear plants and associated consequences.
The right energy policy has the potential to minimize cos

Application of Spatial Data Modeling Systems, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and Transportation Routing Optimization Methods for Evaluating Integrated Deployment of Interim Spent Fuel Storage Installations and Advanced Nuclear Plants
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).
Integrated Cask Storage Systems for Storage, Transportation, and Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel
Lists Various TVA Activities Involving Spent Fuel
COMMERCIAL RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FEASIBILITY WITH THE UNIVERSAL CANISTER CONCEPT
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.
Opportunities to Increase the Productivity of Spent Fuel Shipping Casks in the United States
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
