FC-4.2 Transportation

Used Nuclear Fuel disposition

FC-4.2: TRANSPORTATION Technical issues related to transportation of used nuclear fuel has been generally addressed by past industry studies. However, issues related to transportation of used nuclear fuel after prolonged storage periods provide new challenges. Key university research needs for transportation activities include:

• Materials research that would facilitate transportation of used nuclear fuel; • Structural integrity assessment for transporting used nuclear fuel with uncertainty in input considerations; • Advanced modeling approaches for radiological analyses of disruptive scenarios relevant to transportation; and • Data relevant to risk-informed cask qualification and transportation behavior of high-burnup and advanced fuels.
