Preliminary cask physical performance specifications and interface guidelines have been defined to support the development of a family of casks and transporters for shipments in the United States (US) of spent light water reactor fuel. These shipments will be made from US commercial reactor facilities to high-level waste receiving facilities. The specified hardware consists of both truck and rail/barge casks along with their associated transporters.
