The Conceptual Design Study for a Dry Well Facility was completed. In support of a dry surface demonstration, the first characterized PWR spent fuel assembly was encapsulated and placed in a sealed storage cask (SSC) concrete shield on December 15, 1978. This was the first of several dry surface demonstrations planned, and validated the encapsulation process. Data are now being collected to demonstrate dry surface storage concepts and the design, fabrication, packaging, and performance of spent fuel under surface storage conditions. Studies and results to date indicate that the dry well storage concept is preferable to the SSC for dry surface storage of spent fuel.
