Rod consolidation study: Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6960657
This report documents the investigations and results of the rod consolidation study. This study was conducted by Fluor Technology, Inc., the Architect/Engineer (A/E) for the Salt Repository Project Office (SPRO). This study considered the issue of spent fuel consolidation at the salt repository. A repository design that incorporated consolidation by spent fuel disassembly was compared with a design that featured disposal of intact spent fuel. Current salt repository conceptual designs were used as a basis for the two designs. The two designs were compared in a quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The evaluation considered cost, schedule, safety, licensing, and other factors. As a result, a final recommendation is made of the design that is preferred by the salt repository A/E. This study also provided the repository data for integrated systems using a Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS). No specific conclusions were drawn regarding the preferability of an MRS from the repository standpoint. However, the data generated will support decisions on this topic in the future. 14 refs., 41 figs., 43 tabs.
