Conference ·
OSTI ID:799324

Aluminum-clad spent fuel from the RA-3 Research and Test Reactor at the CNEA Ezeiza Atomic Center near Buenos Aires, Argentina is currently in wet storage at their Central Storage Facility (CSF). This fuel will be returned to the U.S. for storage at the Savannah River Site (SRS). A team of personnel from Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) performed on-site inspections of this fuel from October 25-November 10, 1999. The damaged condition prior to shipment lead to the concern for the potential to impact shipping, handling, and storage. This report summarized the analysis that was conducted to address the potential impact of the fuel condition with respect to these steps.
