Title: Cask performance and interface specifications for shipment of US spent light water reactor fuel

Abstract

Preliminary cask physical performance specifications and interface guidelines have been defined to support the development of a family of casks and transporters for shipments in the United States (US) of spent light water reactor fuel. These shipments will be made from US commercial reactor facilities to high-level waste receiving facilities. The specified hardware consists of both truck and rail/barge casks along with their associated transporters.
