Title: U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SPONSORED STUDIES ON SPENT FUEL TRANSPORTATION
Abstract: The roles of past and present spent nuclear fuel transportation risk studies in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s) transportation safety program are described. NRC has already completed two comprehensive transportation risk studies; a third is presently nearing completion; and a fourth was recently initiated. These continuing efforts in conducting spent fuel transportation risk studies contribute the Commission’s objectives for its transportation safety program, including moving towards risk-informed performance based regulation and enhancing stakeholder and public communications and confidence. The views expressed in this paper do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or the Sandia National Laboratories.
