OSTI ID:6664264
A system is being developed to transport solidified High Level Defense Waste (HLDW) from the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) at Savannah River to a federal repository. A design goal of the project is to develop a High Level Defense Waste Transportation System (HLDWTS) which is compatible with the solidified HLDW forms generated at Hanford and Idaho sites as well as the solidified waste which may be generated at a waste solidification facility to be built at West Valley, New York. A reference design concept is described for a system to transport High Level Defense Waste from solidification and packaging facilities to a federal repository. This system is characterized by the following features: high integrity solid body cask with dual lid; 80 metric ton rail cask suitable for a 4-axle flat bed transporter; uncomplicated design and dry handling permit efficient cask loading and unloading operations; and a convertible capacity design permits flexible and efficient packaging for multi-site utilization and lower overall costs.
