Nevada National Security Site V3XA Spherical Explosive Confinement Vessel Awareness Package

This report summarizes the plans and activities that will facilitate shipment of the V3XA experimental spheres (a.k.a., Nevada Spheres) from the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) to the Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP). The spheres require shipment to INL to be segmented, characterized, and repackaged for ultimate disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The NNSS does not currently have the facilities or safety basis to perform these activities. The INL has the facilities, the INL M&O contractor owns an 8-120B cask, and AMWTP has a WIPP Waste Acceptance Criteria approved characterization program. The NNSS has shipped other legacy transuranic waste to INL for WIPP certified characterization in the past.
