Certifying the TN-BRP and TN-REG transportable storage demonstration casks
The Shippable Storage Cask Demonstration Project is intended to demonstrate casks which can be used for both shipping and storing spent nuclear fuel assemblies. The demonstration included the requirement that the casks be certified for shipping by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). After a lengthy review process which resulted in the resolution of several important technical issues, designs for two similar casks have been certified. This paper describes the certification phase of the demonstration. Based on experience gained during certification phase of the demonstration. Based on experience gained during certification, observations and recommendations have been developed which can benefit others seeking NRC approval of transportation cask designs.
