Status of Spent Fuel Storage at Savannah River Site (October 2003)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:816015

The Savannah River Site continues to be the U.S. Department of Energy's primary receipt and storage location for aluminum based research reactor fuel. A number of initiatives have been implemented which enhance the site's storage capabilities while reducing the long term operating cost. The L-Basin facility improvements include projects that allow handling of the TN7/2 and LWT casks, improved basin chemistry, modernized the cask handling cranes, and increased basin capacity. In an effort to provide the most cost-effective long-term storage of material, the project to de-inventory the RBOF storage basin and consolidate spent nuclear fuel at L-Basin is nearly complete.
