Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) generated by the current fleet of commercial nuclear reactors is being stored at reactor sites in spent fuel pools (SFPs) and in dry independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs). The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Integrated Waste Management (IWM) program is examining a suite of IWM system options and conducting supporting analyses to enable future informed choices. The IWM program is currently organized into the following four major areas: (1) IWM facilities and equipment concepts and development, (2) transportation capability analysis and support, (3) information technology solutions and support, and (4) system integration analysis and support. This paper focuses on the activities ongoing in the IWM system integration analysis and support area. Two main research activities in this area are: data and tools development, validation, and maintenance; and special studies, analyses, and assessments.
