Investigation of Nuclide Importance to Functional Requirements Related to Transport and Long-Term Storage of LWR Spent Fuel

Technical Report Broadhead, B L

The radionuclide characteristics of light-water-reactor (LWR) spent fuel play key roles in the design and licensing activities for radioactive waste transportation systems, interim storage facilities, and the final repository site. Several areas of analysis require detailed information concerning the time-dependent behavior of radioactive nuclides including (1) neutron/gamma-ray sources for shielding studies, (2) fissile/absorber concentrations for criticality safety determinations, (3) residual decay heat predictions for thermal considerations, and (4) curie and/or radiological toxicity levels for materials assumed to be released into the ground/environment after long periods of time. The crucial nature of the radionuclide predictions over both short and long periodsmore »« less

DEMONSTRATION OF LONG-TERM STORAGE CAPABILITY FOR SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL IN L BASIN

Technical Report Sindelar, R ; Deible, R

The U.S. Department of Energy decisions for the ultimate disposition of its inventory of used nuclear fuel presently in, and to be received and stored in, the L Basin at the Savannah River Site, and schedule for project execution have not been established. A logical decision timeframe for the DOE is following the review of the overall options for fuel management and disposition by the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future (BRC). The focus of the BRC review is commercial fuel; however, the BRC has included the DOE fuel inventory in their review. Even though the final report bymore »« less

Long-term storage of spent fuel: Techniques and international safeguards aspects

Conference Weh, R ; Gerstler, R - J. Nucl. Mater. Manage.; (United States)

In the Federal Republic of Germany the first facility for dry storage of spent fuel is ready for operation and some more facilities will be available in the near future. Since, according to German law, spent fuel is to be reprocessed, these facilities are interim stores and designed accordingly. In the present paper a facility with 1500 t heavy metal storage capacity and transport/storage casks under consideration are described. This type of nuclear facility is new with regard to international safeguards, therefore attention is given to safeguards related aspects. Main topics are the necessary inclusion of safeguards procedures in shippingmore »« less
Safeguards measurements for long-term storage of spent fuel

Conference Bosler, G E ; Rinard, P M - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society; (USA)

Spent-fuel wastes containing nuclear material that will be stored in long-term repositories will probably be safeguarded to some level. Containment and surveillance will be the principal safeguards mechanisms, but depending on the adopted safeguards criteria, nondestructive assay may also be necessary. There are only four likely possibilities for measuring spent-fuel wastes. (1) Detailed measurements could be made on the fuel at the shipping facility as the fuel is being loaded into the shipping/storage container. (2) The containers could be monitored on receipt at the storage facility. (3) Automated, unattended systems integrated into the facility could monitor container movement within themore »« less
Managing aging effects on dry cask storage systems for extended long-term storage and transportation of used fuel - rev. 0

Technical Report Chopra, O K ; Diercks, D ; Fabian, R ; ...

The cancellation of the Yucca Mountain repository program in the United States raises the prospect of extended long-term storage (i.e., >120 years) and deferred transportation of used fuel at operating and decommissioned nuclear power plant sites. Under U.S. federal regulations contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 72.42, the initial license term for an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) must not exceed 40 years from the date of issuance. Licenses may be renewed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at the expiration of the license term upon application by the licensee for a periodmore »« less
