Abstract
This packaging system transports current generation, light water reactor (LWR) nuclear fuel assemblies via railroad shipment. The study basis was prior full-scale tests with the IF-300 system and simulations of fuel unloading operations at the BNFP. Specific tasks and areas of study included: (1) sequential dry-run handling operations under simulated unloading conditions, (2) detailed time and manpower studies, (3) estimates of operator radiation exposure, and (4) a general evaluation of the cask system capabilities as they relate to unloading facility operations. The latter includes suggestions for improvements to equipment, facilities, and procedures. Additionally, general information on the design of the cask and auxiliary equipment, the Certificate-of-Compliance (COC), and a fuel compatibility matrix are included.
