Maximizing Criticality Control Coverage for Geologic Disposal of DOE-SNF
- Framatome Cogema Fuels, Las Vegas, NV (United States)
Many types of Department of Energy (DOE) spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are being considered for geologic disposal. Maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the analyses for storage, transportation, and disposal is crucial to ultimately license for geologic disposal. A standardized canister has been designed to support interim storage, transportation, and ultimate disposal at the potential repository at Yucca Mountain. Disposal criticality analyses are being performed for fuel groups. The results from these analyses along with those from the storage and transportation criticality analyses, will be used to support acceptance of DOE SNF for disposal.
