The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) is laying the groundwork for implementing an integrated nuclear waste management system. This includes preparing for future large-scale transport of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) since transport will be a necessary component of an integrated waste management system. This paper provides an overview of the progress to date, and discussion of the path forward, for the current DOE-NE effort related to designing and fabricating prototype rail-cars for rail transport of SNF from commercial nuclear power reactor sites when a receiving site becomes operational.
