The multipurpose canister (MPC) project represents a cornerstone of the current U.S. Department of Energy`s Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) program for handling spent nuclear fuel. The MPC and associated support equipment is being designed to accommodate the requirements for not only storage and transport but also for the specified disposal requirements of the mined geologic repository system. The phase 1 design effort for the MPC system, being performed by the Westinghouse team on behalf of TRW Environmental Safety Systems (TESS), the OCRWM management & operating (M&O) contractor, is on schedule for delivery of completed safety analysis reports (SARs) in April 1996.
