The NAC Legal Weight Truck (LWT) Cask is a Type B(U)F-96 transportation package originally designed for shipment of PWR and BWR spent fuel assemblies. Its versatile design provides maximum flexibility and cost-efficiency to support shipment of a wide range of spent fuel. This cask has been used for research reactor fuel shipments in over a dozen countries and counting. It has supported multiple domestic research reactor spent fuel shipments. These contents are licensed by the U.S. NRC and have been validated for use around the world. These shipments need the capability to be loaded and unloaded in a pool, in a dry facility or in a parking lot. In this paper, the analysis, design changes and operations to meet these specific content challenges will be presented. The paper provides a technical overview of the NAC LWT and identifies the design features and technology advancements making the NAC LWT readily adaptable and flexible solution for packaging research reactor spent fuel.
