The CASMO computer program calculates the mileage and costs of transporting spent fuel and/or high-level wastes to various facilities in the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. The program was specifically written to provide a tool for siting monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facilities. Three program options are described that can survey many potential sites or determine mileage and costs for specific sites. The results of CASMO are utilized to determine transportation risks and to perform a cost analysis of transporting transuranic (TRU) wastes.
