N2 - In Going the Distance? The Safe Transport of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste in the United States,1 the National Academy of Science concluded that using mostly the rail transportation mode including the use of dedicated trains for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high level radioactive waste transportation has advantages when compared to barge and road transport modes., Current planning efforts are focused on having the majority of future SNF transport be performed by rail. The federal government and the railroads have been working on acceptable approaches to transporting SNF and high-level radioactive waste for decades, The current car construction standards applicable to freight cars and consists used to move SNF is AAR Standard S-2043. The maintenance and operations requirements associated with a fleet of transportation cask railcars, buffer cars, and escort cars will conform to AAR Standard S-2043; these requirements will impact the design of a fleet maintenance facility.
