Description

Ontario Hydro's CANDU nuclear power stations are situated on the shores of the Great Lakes and are accessible by road, rail and water. For the off-site shipment of used CANDU fuel from the stations to a disposal, reprocessing or central storage facility, all three modes are being considered. This paper presents Ontario Hydro's 'reference transportation systems' for the shipment of used CANDU fuel as developed for the Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program (NFWMP) in Canada. These are workable systems developed by Ontario Hydro for the purpose of showing modal feasibility. The systems have not yet been optimized
