The purpose of the Cask Systems Development Program (CSDP) is to develop a variety of cask system which can safely and economically transport commercial spent fuel and high-level waste from the generating sites to a Federal geologic repository or Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility. This paper is limited to a discussion of the status of from-reactor spent fuel cask development; future cask development plans include MRS-to-repository casks, specialty casks for nonstandard spent fuel and nonfuel materials, and defense high-level waste casks.
