[en] Full text: The Department of Energy awarded a privatized contract to TTFWI (Tetra Tech Foster Wheeler Inc.) in May 2000 for the design, licensing, construction and operation of a spent nuclear fuel repackaging and storage facility. The TTFWI Team consists TTFWI (the primary contractor), Alstec, RWE-Nukem, RIO Technical Services, Winston and Strawn, and Utility Engineering. The Idaho Spent Fuel (ISF) facility is an integral part of the DOE-EM approach to accelerating SNF disposition at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). Construction of this facility is also important in helping DOE to meet the provisions of the Idaho Settlement Agreement. The ISF Facility is a substantial facility with heavy shielding walls in the repackaging and storage bays and state-of-the-art features required to meet the provisions of 10 CRF 72 requirements. The facility is designed for a 40-year life. (author)
