Baseline descriptions for the storage, handlina, and transportation of reactor spent fuel are provided. The storage modes described include light water reactor (LWR) pools, away-from-reactor basins, dry surface storaqe, reprocessinq-facility interim storage pools, and deep qeologic storage. Land and water transportation are also discussed.
Preliminary concepts for detecting national diversion of LWR spent fuel during storage, handling and transportation are presented. Principal emphasis is placed on means to achieve timely detection by an international authority. This work was sponsored by the Department of Energy/Office of Safeguards and Security (DOE/OSS) as part of the over all". Sandia Fixed Facility Physical Protection Program.
