AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper provides (a) an overview of the range of feasible Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility transfer and storage configurations that are available to the US DOE, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM), and (b) a preliminary qualitative assessment of alternative configurations that identifies those proven or reasonably available technologies that appear to best meet the anticipated mission and functional requirements of the MRS. Twenty four spent fuel transfer options are discussed each of which can be configured with one or more of the 5 individual dry storage modes included in the assessment. A summary is provided of the recent work that has been performed on the MRS facility design program by OCRWM in preparation for the start of Title I - Preliminary Design, slated for October, 1991
