NNWSI repository operational procedures for receiving, packaging, emplacing, and retrieving high-level and transuranic waste
Description
The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations project has as one of its principal objectives the conceptual design of the buildings and facilities that will be required at a repository for commercially generated radioactive waste. This report has been prepared for use by the repository designers in the conceptual design of the high-level and transuranic waste-handling facilities and equipment. The report contains a description of the radioactive waste expected at the repository; a description of the shipping casks and the facility casks; and a description of the waste receiving, handling, packaging, transfer, and emplacement operations. Waste retrieval operations are also discussed
