End Effect keff Cias Curve for Actinide-Only Burnup Credit Casks
A conservative end effect keff bias curve for actinide-only burnup credit casks is presented
in this paper. Rather than performing axially burnup-dependent analysis, cask designers can, if
they choose to, analyze casks with a uniform axial burnup (at assembly average burnup value) and
add the keff bias values to conservatively bound the actinide-only end effect. Earlier studies
suggested 1-3% increase in keff to account for the end effect, but they included fission products
as well as actinides for their analyses.
Transportation Planning and Execution: Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel
There have been roughly 2,600 shipments of commercial spent fuel in this country over the past three decades or so. Although this is not an enormous volume by European standards, it is nevertheless significant. These shipments fall into two general categories: individual and "campaign."
There have been a number of individual shipments where lead test assembly fuel was shipped from a reactor to a laboratory for examination. This is an important part of reactor fuel development.
