Abstract

According to the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) operations plan facility components are replaced when they reach their end-of-life. These components must be safely removed, placed in a container for storage, and transported from the site. In order to classify components and suggest an appropriate shipping container an accurate estimate of the radionuclide inventory is performed. After the choice for the container is made, it is modelled with the facility component placed inside in order to perform transport calculations to ensure that the container is compliant with waste management regulations.
