This paper reports that, regardless of how much spent fuel is loaded in a cask and shipped, whether it is one assembly or a campaign involving many cask loads, the process is complicated. The cask must work within the facility constraints, the basket selected must meet fuel dimensional requirements, cask and facility interfaces need to be defined and addressed, site specific cask loading procedures must be developed, fuel loading staff must be trained, and a whole array of transportation issues need to be addressed. For the large campaigns that will eventually occur under the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management program, these issues will be magnified. More than 122 reactor sites will need to be served, with most requiring unique issues to be addressed. The Site and Facility Waste Transportation Services Planning Documents (SPD) is a tool and a process to capture all the relevant information related to a site for use in spent nuclear fuel shipment planning.
