The TN-24P PWR spent-fuel storage cask: Testing and analyses: Interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6498617
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;

A performance test of a Transnuclear, Inc. TN-24P storage cask configured for pressurized water reactor (PWR) spent fuel was performed. The test was the second of a series of cask performance tests planned under a cooperative agreement between Virginia Power and the US Department of Energy. The performance test consisted of loading the TN-24P cask with 24 PWR spent fuel assemblies from Virginia Power's Surry reactor. Cask surface and fuel assembly guide tube temperatures were measured, as were cask surface gamma and neutron dose rates. Testing was performed with vacuum, nitrogen, and helium backfill environment in both vertical and horizontal cask orientations. Limited spent fuel integrity data were also obtained.
