The use of depleted uranium dioxide (DUO{sub 2}) particles has been investigated as fill material inside repository waste packages containing light water reactor (LWR) spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The use of DUO{sub 2} fill may eliminate repository criticality concerns, reduce radionuclide release rates from the repository, and dispose of excess depleted uranium.
