Spent-fuel disassembly and canning programs at the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant (BNFP)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5324485
Doubling pool storage and tripling truck cask shipping capability appear feasible based on preliminary development work performed at the BNFP. This would be accomplished by disassembly of the fuel assembly and canning of the fuel pins. The dry, remote disassembly and canning in the headend cells offer adequate rates, easily controlled operator exposure, and visual inspection of the fuel pins and operations through shielded windows.
