Abstract

International cooperation to develop an improved and integrated program addressing the management of military spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in Russia is discussed. The cooperative efforts consists of development of a protype dual-purpose, metal-concrete container for both transport and long-term storage of RF military SNF and the first transshipment/interim storage facility. The project also involve the development of improved fuel preparation and cask loading procedures and systems. It is suggested that the projects are designed to provide a physically secure, accountable, and environmentally sound integrated solution, that will increase the capacity for removal and transfer of SNF.
