Rancho Seco shut down permanently in June 1989. An integral part of the decommissioning strategy is what to do with the spent fuel. It was concluded that dry storage was the best option. Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) contracted with VECTRA to develop a transportable storage system. The licensing status and impact limiter testing program are described here. Also DOE`s demonstration programs for the transportable storage system and dry transfer system are discussed. Finally, the author addresses melt refining as a viable means of volume reduction for low-level wastes.
