Abstract
This evaluation looks at the equipment and operations necessary to load United States Department of Energy (DOE) -owned Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) into DOE SNF Standardized Canisters in the CPP-603 Irradiated Fuel Storage Facility in the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) area at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Two types of fuels are looked at in this evaluation: Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) fuel (uranium-aluminide fuel with aluminum cladding) and Peach Bottom fuel (thorium-uranium carbide fuel in a graphite matrix). The ATR fuel ready for loading would come from fuel storage canisters in the CPP-603 facility, while the Peach Bottom fuel ready for loading could come from either fuel storage canisters in the CPP-603 facility and or containers in the CPP-749 Underground Fuel Storage Facility – Generation I Vaults.
