Title: Advanced transportation system options for spent fuel and high-level waste

Abstract

Multiple design and usage options exist for packagings to transport spent fuel and high-level waste. The purpose of this paper is to list many of these options and to review their merits. Parameters considered include cask usage and designs, vehicles, handling methods, gamma neutron shielding materials impact limiters, and truck system weight limits.
