Environmental assessment on shipment of Taiwanese research reactor spent nuclear fuel

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10115591
The proposed action is to transport 474 spent fuel rods from a foreign research reactor in Taiwan by sea to Portsmouth, Virginia, and then overland by truck to the receiving basin for off-site fuels at the Savannah River Plant for reprocessing. This assessment addresses the potential environmental impacts from the transportation of the Taiwanese research reactor spent fuel, from point of origin to final delivery to the Savannah River Plant. This assessment briefly examines the impacts of alternatives to the proposed action and considers potential impacts from normal (incident-free) transport and transportation accidents.
