Title: Successful deployment of the fuel canning station at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

Abstract

The corroding and degrading condition of the metal spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and the court agreement reached by the State of Idaho and the Department of Energy (DOE) necessitated quick transferal of the SNF from underwater to dry storage at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory`s (INEL) Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (CPP)-603 Fuel Storage Basins. Four project elements are presented which enabled Nuclear Fuel Operations at the INEL to achieve this timely evolution, namely: (1) Applying elements of Systems Engineering in a task team approach for making decisions. (2) Developing a Fuel Movement Plan (FMP) to allow parallel task completion normally performed sequentially. (3) Defining the technical basis for dry storage with respect to the court mandate and getting approval by corporate management, DOE, and the State of Idaho. (4) Design and fabrication of the Fuel Canning Station (FCS).
