A study of extra large storage casks
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6631461
The scope of this study includes a technical evaluation of and conceptual designs for storage/transport and storage-only XLSC's, each containing either intact assemblies or consolidated fuel rods. For the consolidated fuel case, a conceptual design is presented for a transportable fuel disassembly and rod consolidation hot cell called the Mobile Equipment for Consolidation (MEC). The MEC is located and operated within a utility-provided structure called the Stationary Equipment for Consolidation (SEC). The study evaluates the XLSC and MEC concepts, together with ancillary systems and equipment concepts, for technical feasibility and for their impact on the rest of the waste management system in terms of modifications at handling sites, acceptance, costs, safety and licensing/regulatory considerations.
