Studies and research concerning BNFP: operational assessment of the FSV-1 (HTGR) spent fuel shipping cask in alternate modes

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5367093

This report presents an operational assessment of the FSV-1 spent fuel shipping cask which was developed by General Atomic specifically for the Fort St. Vrain reactor. Of primary interest is the adaptation to underwater loading and unloading of light-water-reactor (LWR) fuel in this cask which was designed for the dry-handling of high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) fuel. Also presented is a concept for a system to compare the pros and cons of wet and dry handling of this and other casks.
