Title: Preliminary design specification for Department of Energy standardized spent nuclear fuel canisters. Volume 2: Rationale document

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/665972· OSTI ID:665972

This document (Volume 2) is a companion document to a preliminary design specification for the design of canisters to be used during the handling, storage, transportation, and repository disposal of Department of Energy (DOE) spent nuclear fuel (SNF). This document contains no procurement information, such as the number of canisters to be fabricated, explicit timeframes for deliverables, etc. However, this rationale document does provide background information and design philosophy in order to help engineers better understand the established design criteria (contained in Volume 1 respectively) necessary to correctly design and fabricate these DOE SNF canisters.
