Spent fuel handling and packaging program. Quarterly progress report, April--June 1978

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6190761
Objective is to develop methods for the safe, economical management of spent unreprocessed fuel in above-ground storage or near-surface facilities. The methods developed should allow disposal to a Federal geologic repository without additional difficult stabilization processes, and reprocessing without difficult processes to reconstitute the fuel for recovery. The program consists of four tasks that provide engineering and system studies, technical research and development, and support studies, along with demonstration tests to supply information and data to the project management task for integration into the facility design. The report follows the work breakdown tasks with the report elements identified to the subtask level.
