1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 Packaging Standards The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)is The basic s,trategy for regulating spent fuel authorized under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954' shipments is to rely on the packagmg to protect as amended, to regulate the commercial nuclear tb pMc health and safety dunng transportation.

The packagm, g standards that have been mdustry for the purpose of protectm.g the pubh.c healtii and safety and the common defense and established in the regulations provide that a spent secunty of the United States. Included in this fuel packaging (cask) shall prevent the loss or authority is the regulation of certain aspects of the dispersion of the radioactive contents, provide transportation ofirradiated reactor fuel (spent adequate shielding and heat dissipation, and fuel). NRC,s role in this regard is explamed in prevent nuclear criticality under both normal and accident conditions of transportation. The normal Section 2 of this r,eport. Section 3 provides conditions of transportation that must be descriptive statistics on spent fuel shipments in the commercial nuclcar mdustry for the period considered are specified in the regulations in 1979-1995. Section 4 contams a listmg, by State, of terms of hot and cold environments, pressure highway and railway segments used m each State differential, vibration, water spray, impact, for transporting spent fuel m recent years puncture, and compression tests. Accident (1993-1995).

conditions that must be considered are specified in terms of impact, puncture, fire conditions, and immersion.

NRC must issue a certificate before a cask fabricated from the Spent fuel shipments are regulated from both the reviewed design can be used to transport spent safety and safeguards standpoints. Safety deals fuel.

For example, an against deliberate, malevolent acts by persons.

NRC shipments of spent fuel against radiological approval authorizes only spent fuel shipments, sabotage. The material requiring physical and does not include other categories of nuclear protection is identified in 10 CFR 73.37(a) as waste material. From time to time, NRC may

The fuel. The table identifies the spent fuel shipments individual shipment quantities have been grouped that occurred in each State. The table also lists into ranges, with highway shipments most the highway or railway route segments within the frequently falling within the N0 and 400-500 or State that were used for each shipment, and when 10-400 and 1300-1400 kilogram ranges, and with the shipment was completed. The table shows that most railway shipments within the 6000-11000 highway spent fuel shipments were made in or kilogram range. The smallest quantity range through 31 States, and that railway shipments accounts for the largest number of shipments were made in or through 2 States during the (521, or 40 percent of highway and railway period discussed.
