Social Scientists such as Hank Jenkins-Smith from the University of Oklahoma have suggested that the structured evaluation of beliefs and preferences measured in annual survey and social media data streams can assist program managers in making nuclear facility siting programs responsive and adaptive to the evolution of nuclear narratives. This presentation will provide an engineering and project management perspective on how ongoing social science research can be used.
This paper assesses the feasibility of direct disposal of loaded dual-purpose canisters (DPCs) from a criticality standpoint by evaluating attributes that could be credited to justify that the DPCs remain subcritical over a repository performance period. This study investigates the uncredited criticality margin associated with actual fuel loading compared with the regulatory licensing design basis limits and evaluates the percentage of DPCs that remain subcritical solely based on the uncredited criticality margin.

A comprehensive, integrated data and analysis tool—the Used Nuclear Fuel-Storage, Transportation & Disposal Analysis Resource and Data System (UNF-ST&DARDS) —is being developed for the US DOE Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Nuclear Fuels Storage and Transportation Planning Project (NFST). The overarching goal of UNF-ST&DARDS is to provide a comprehensive controlled source of technical data integrated with key analysis capabilities to characterize inputs to the overall US waste management system from reactor power production through ultimate disposition.
Presentation to Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board. Summarizes work performed for the EPRI report TR-101988 published in 1993 by EPRI. This examines a universal canister concept as well as a universal cask concept, and performs a systems analysis. Prepared by E.R. Johnson Associates Inc.
