Abstract

The logistics case study presented in this paper considered multiple scenarios of shipping used nuclear fuel (UNF) from the shutdown reactor sites. The scenario variables included the campaign duration, fuel selection approach, consist size, and location of the consolidated storage and maintenance facilities. Thirty one simulations were performed using the Transportation Storage Logistics model. The major factors affecting scenario performance were identified and the recommendations concerning selecting appropriate strategies for transporting the UNF were made.
