Rationale for determining spent fuel acquisitions for repository testing

  • 1. Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
  • 2. Lawrence Livermore National Lab., CA (United States)

Description

A rationale for selecting commercial spent nuclear fuels for use as testing materials for the Yucca Mountain Project was developed. A review of experimental data from fuel performance testing was conducted and performance-affecting attributes pertinent to storage and disposal conditions were identified. These were used to form the basis for a fuel-selection strategy designed to ensure adequate and representative samples are available for storage- and disposal-relevant testing
