N2 - The objective of this project is to evaluate the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) vibration integrity under normal condition of transport. The SNF fatigue strength data has been collected from pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactor under simulated transportation environments using the Cyclic Integrated Reversible-Bending Fatigue Tester (CIRFT). CIRFT is an enabling hot-cell testing technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This data will be used to support on-going SNF modeling activities, in addition to addressing licensing issues associated with SNF transport. The recent study showing accelerated SNF fatigue aging due to periodic transient shocks, induced by fuel assembly contact interactions, in combination with the normal vibration loads will also be discussed.
