The Nuclear Fuels Storage and Transportation Planning Project (NFST), under the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, Office of Fuel Cycle Technologies, is conducting analyses to inform future decisions regarding an integrated waste management system with a current focus on commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF). This work builds on results from previous systems architecture studies within NFST. System-level analyses of the overall interface between at-reactor, consolidated storage, and ultimate disposition, along with the development of supporting logistic simulation tools, were initiated in 2012. This paper highlights recent results of the NFST systems architecture analysis efforts initiated in 2012. Waste management design choices are evaluated with respect to the impact on the entire system. This includes an analysis of alternative strategies for allocating receipt of SNF from reactor sites, storage options for SNF at an interim storage facility (ISF), and thermal limits restricting the transportation of canisters from an ISF to a mined geological repository (MGR).
