Final Report
Project Title: Nuclear Waste Criticality Analysis
Principal Investigator: William G. Culbreth
Covering the Period: 1 July 1995 - 30 June 1996
Date: July 3, 1996
Summary:
This report summarizes the work that was conducted under this project. Due to the
termination of the cooperative agreement between the USDOE and UNLV, funds were
unavailable from the grant after February 28, 1996.
The control of criticality in spent nuclear fuel is necessary during all phases of fuel management
during storage, transportation, and permanent disposal. The work completed to date is described
below. The tasks indicated in the original proposal include:
Task 1 -- Seek coverage by an approved quality control program.
Task 2 -- Review documents related to criticality.
Task 3 -- Attend criticality meetings and workshops.
Task 4 -- Maintain an expertise in criticality.
The current work is covered by the University of Nevada System QA plan.
Work Completed to Date:
1. Review of documents.
Based on task #2, the YMPSCO requested a review of contractor reports related to criticality.
Two documents have been reviewed including:
a. MPC Subsystem Nuclear Criticality Safety Strategy: An Overview
b. Criticality Safety Strategy for Spent Nuclear Fuel Packages: An Overview
Copies of the reviews are included in appendix A. Other reports are currently in review.
2. Topical Reports
A number of topical reports were prepared based on the findings of the research. These
reports are included in the appendices:
