Comparative Analyses of Spent Nuclear Fuel Transport Modal Options

by P. L. Hofmann, Battelle, United States,
L. A. Brentlinger, Battelle, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: High Level Radioactive Waste Management 1990

Abstract:

The movement of nuclear waste can be accomplished by various transport modal options involving different types of vehicles, transport casks, transport routes, and intermediate intermodal transfer facilities. A series of systems studies are required to evaluate modal/intermodal spent fuel transportation options in a consistent fashion. This paper provides total life-cycle cost and life-cycle dose estimates for a series of transport modal options under existing site constraints.
