Transportation of spent fuels
- 1. Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Oarai, Ibaraki (Japan). Oarai Research Establishment
Description
JMTR (Japan Material Test Reactor) of JAERI, Oarai Establishment, transported spent fuels from JMTR reactor to Savannah River Site, US DOE, in June 1997, for the first time since the US Government adopted a new policy for accepting spent fuels from foreign research reactors (New Off-Site Fuel Policy, 1993). The present report describes the details of the transportation. It includes the characteristics of the fuel elements, the fuel casks used, the storage facilities, the necessary administrative procedures, an outline of the contract, and examinations to confirm the safety during transportation by sea and by land made from Japan side and also US DOE side (S. Ohno)
