Spent fuel research and development demonstrations and associated transportation activities are being performed for DOE`s Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) as a part of the storage cask performance testing programs at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). These spent fuel programs support the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) and Department of Energy objectives for cooperative demonstrations with the utilities, testing at federal sites, and alternatives for viable transportation systems. The shipment of spent fuel to the INEL from the Surry Power Station and the Nevada Test Site required shipping plans and coordination between DOE, EG and G Idaho, and Virginia Power transportation personnel, as well as extensive communication with the corridor states. 8 figs., 3 tabs.
