Standardized Canisters for Spent Nuclear Fuel: Their Potential Impact and a Proposed Path Forward

This paper describes an evaluation completed in Fiscal Year 2016 (FY16) that investigates using standardized triple-purpose (storage, transportation, and disposal) canisters within an integrated waste management system (IWMS). The IWMS in this particular evaluation is focused on management of commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF). Incorporation of a standardized canister system into the IWMS provides an opportunity to develop an integrated approach to address storage, transportation, and disposal issues. Regardless of implementation timing and method, deployment of such a canister system could cause significant system-wide impacts. Over the past few years, a number of system analyses have been performed for the US Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) using logistic simulations to evaluate the impacts of incorporating these smaller canisters into the IWMS. Furthermore, these simulations predict the amount of resources (e.g., staff, canisters/casks, railcars, facilities), the size of facilities, the timing of operations, and rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) cost estimates.

Proposed Triple-Wall, Voltage-Isolating Electrodes for Multiple-Bias-Voltage 3D Sensors

Dividing 3D active-edge silicon sensors into separate sections with a triple-wall sandwich of two trench electrodes separated by an insulating layer, will allow two or more bias voltages to be used simultaneously. Such sensors could be fabricated with only a single group of lowtemperature additional steps and may be necessary to prevent a new form of radiation-damage failure in non-uniform radiation fields.
