A great deal of operational data is now available from NUHOMS dry storage installations. Shielding benchmark calculations have been performed for two metal transfer casks, each fuel designs, and three concrete storage casks to determine why the design calculations exhibit a wide margin of conservatism. Modification of the fuel assembly source term calculations were found necessary to more accurately predict gamma and neutron dose rates.
