Nuclear Power Plant Infrastructure Evaluations for Removal of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Abstract

This report provides evaluations of the NPP site infrastructure and near-site transportation infrastructure for removing SNF from 19 NPP sites and the Morris Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The material to be removed from the NPP sites includes both the SNF and the greater-than-Class C low-level radioactive waste (GTCC waste)3 that is stored, or will be stored, at the sites. This report is an update of the report Nuclear Power Plant Infrastructure Evaluations for Removal of Spent Nuclear Fuel (Maheras et al. 2021) and includes expansion of the site evaluations to include operating nuclear power plant (NPP) sites and to incorporate updated site inventory data. Figures that include the number of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies and metric tons heavy metal (MTHM) in a single figure have also been added to the report.
