A dry storage cask has been designed to provide storage for TMI-2 defueling canisters at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Criticality safety margins will be provided by moderator controls imposed on the canisters (prior to insertion into the cask) and on the cask (during a 50-yr storage time). Criticality safety calculations demonstrate that an adequate margin of safety exists for the proposed storage of defueling canisters in the TMI-2 dry storage cask.
