The possible allowance of reactivity credit for the exposure history, of power reactor fuel has spurred interest because of the potential of greatly reduced risk and cost when applied to the design and certification of spent-fuel casks used for transportation and storage. Previous pressurized water reactor feasibility assessments are extended to boiling water reactor fuel.
