Abstract

The transportation operations model was used to identify options for removing stranded fuel currently in dry storage at nine shutdown reactor sites to a hypothetical consolidated storage facility. The logistical variables included the campaign duration, fuel selection priority, consist size and location of the consolidated storage and maintenance facilities. The major factors affecting the logistics of fuel removal were identified. Recommendations for optimal strategies for the transport of stranded fuel from shutdown sites are made.
