Advanced spent-fuel waste package fill material: Depleted uranium dioxide
Description
The use of depleted uranium dioxide (DUO2) particles has been investigated as fill material inside repository waste packages containing light water reactor (LWR) spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The use of DUO2 fill may eliminate repository criticality concerns, reduce radionuclide release rates from the repository, and dispose of excess depleted uranium
