Stainless Steel in Waste Packages for TSPA-SR

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/893835· OSTI ID:893835
The objective of the calculation is to determine how commercial spent nuclear fuel (CSNF) stainless-steel clad assemblies are distributed over the CSNF waste packages (WPs) in the Yucca Mountain repository. The calculation defines the number of CSNF WPs that will contain stainless-steel clad assemblies, and the stainless steel content, on average, in those WPs for the Total System Performance Assessment in Support of Site Recommendation (TSPA-SR). Cladding models for TSPA-SR for stainless-steel clad assemblies differ from the models used for zirconium-clad assemblies. The information derived in this calculation helps to determine how the-cladding models are applied to WPs in TSPA-SR. The calculation addresses the WP configurations for CSNF defined in an interoffice correspondence from E.P. Stroupe to D.R. Wilkins (Stroupe 2000) and shown in Table 1.
