Abstract
PWR Core 2 blanket fuel assemblies, which were used to power the Shippingport Reactor, have been stored in the reactor basin since discharge (approximately four years). Shipment of these blanket fuel assemblies in M-160 casks to Rockwell Hanford Operations for storage in the 221-T Canyon Pool Cell for a period of up to 20 years is planned. The impact of natural phenomena on the fuel storage site and that of normal and accident conditions during receipt, unloading and storage of the PWR Core 2 blanket fuel assemblies have been examined. It is believed that these operations can be conducted without undue risk to the health and safety of employees, the general public, and the environment. (DLC)
