Does Consolidated Interim Storage Make Sense in an Integrated Waste Management System?
Presentation given at the NEI Used Fuel Management Conference in Savannah, Georgia on May 3, 2017. It discusses advantages and disadvantages of consolidated interim storage as well as highlights recent work related to the economics of consolidated storage.
Development of Rail Accident Rates for SNF Rail Shipments
Presentation and Paper for WM 2017. A key factor in evaluating the safety of rail shipments involving the transport of commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is the development of transportation accident rates that are reflective of the unique characteristics associated with these train operations. Typical rail freight operations may involve consists of a hundred cars or more, which may pass through multiple rail yards for trains to be decoupled and reassembled. In contrast, trains carrying SNF are anticipated to be operated in consists of considerably fewer cars.
Sister Rod Examinations at ORNL for the HBU Spent Fuel Data Project
Presentation made at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Extended Storage Collaboration Project (ESCP) meeting November 2016 discussing the status of nondestructive examinations being performed on high burnup (HBU) sent nuclear fuel (SNF) rods at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and proposed destructive examinations that will be performed over the next several years.
