Dry cask storage of SNF is a widespread practice throughout the U.S. When discussing the collective group of all containers, this paper uses the phrase 'casks and canisters'. When referring to the containers holding SNF in particular systems, this paper uses the terms 'casks' or 'canisters,' as appropriate.

This distinction is discussed in more detail in the body of this paper. A note about terminology: in this paper, the phrase 'dry cask storage system' is generic and applies to a complete system used for dry storage of commercial SNF.Within these storage systems, commercial SNF is sealed inside a container called either a cask or a canister depending upon the specific type of storage system used. Post-meeting findings and recommendations of the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board are documented in the Board letter to the Department of Energy dated December 8, 2016. This paper is based on a briefing presented to the Board members by the Board's staff before the public meeting. To prepare for the public meeting, the Board's staff compiled information on the dry cask storage systems in service at nuclear power plant sites in order to identify issues that would need to be addressed by DOE in planning to transport SNF away from the sites. DOE's efforts related to developing an integrated program for storing, transporting, and disposing of SNF and HLW were the focus of a public meeting held by the Board on August 24, 2016, in Washington, D.C. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (Board) with evaluating the technical and scientific validity of DOE activities related more » to the management and disposal of SNF and high-level radioactive wastes (HLW). The NWPA (as amended) also charges the U.S. However, the methods used by commercial nuclear power plants for onsite storage of their SNF define the starting conditions for DOE efforts to develop a waste management system that includes packaging, transportation, storage, and disposal of commercial SNF. Department of Energy (DOE) has responsibility for removing commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from nuclear power plant sites and disposing of the SNF in a deep geologic repository. Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA), the U.S.

It provides definitions and explanations of terms discusses systems, interfaces and interface requirements addresses alternative strategies (single-purpose packages and multipurpose packages) and how interfaces are affected by the strategies and provides a tabular summary of the requirements. The document is intended to define and assist in discussing, at both the domestic and the international level, regulatory, technical, administrative, and institutional interfaces associated with HLW and SNF transport and disposal systems it identifies and discusses the interfaces and interface requirements between the HLW and SNF, the waste transport system used for carriage of the waste to the disposal facility, and the HLW/SNF disposal facility. The TECDOC addresses the interfaces between the transport and geologic disposal systems for, high-level waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF). An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Technical Document (TECDOC) has been developed and will be published by the IAEA.
