Technical & Programmatic Solutions for DPC Direct Disposal: Engineering Cost Analysis Support - Scoping
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This memo describes the engineering technical and costing analysis support needed for identifying and evaluating technical and programmatic solutions for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in dual-purpose canisters (DPCs), and the resources planned to provide that support. The Technical and Programmatic Solutions (T&PS) work scope is intended to identify and evaluate the range of feasible options available for DPC direct disposal, considering the range of DPC designs in the existing fleet and a range of generic geologic disposal concepts. It will also identify changes to the way DPCs are loaded, and/or additional hardware that could be installed in DPCs as they are loaded, to improve disposability (chiefly, post closure criticality control). These two thrusts are the focus of engineering support to the work package.
