An evaluation was made of the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System (CRWMS) using dual-purpose canisters (DPCs) and was compared to a system using multi-purpose canisters (MPCs). The DPC would be designed for transportation and storage, whereas the MPC is designed for transportation, storage, and geologic disposal. Implementation of the DPC concept could allow the federal government to proceed with storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) without linkage to geologic disposal, while continuing to independently develop ultimate geologic disposal requirements and designs.
