The U.S. Department of Energy, through its Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM), has been accumulating information and data on the performance of spent nuclear fuel under long-term dry storage conditions using the facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). This paper describes the work performed to date and indicates areas of anticipated work that will provide data on spent fuel performance to aid the design of multi-purpose canisters (MPCs) and independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs), and to support OCRWM commitments to the International Atomic Energy Agency BEFAST III Program.
