The multi-canister overpack -- Hanford`s N Reactor spent nuclear fuel container

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10148383
The Hanford Site has developed an integrated process strategy for the irradiated fuel, including sorting and cleaning SNF in the K basins, loading the SNF into multi-canister overpacks, drying the fuel at the Cold Vacuum Drying Facility, and transporting the dried fuel to the Canister Storage Building for validation, testing and finally interim storage. This presentation provides a description of the MCO and an overview of the proposed use of the MCO as a container for spent fuel.
