GARRICK: So far, I have Duquette, Mosleh, Hornberger, Latanision and Abkowitz. The DOE, on the other hand, we're relying on a very robust canister for the spent nuclear fuel, DOE spent nuclear fuel, and a less robust canister on the high-level waste. ![]() We are relying on the utility records to let us know what material is in there. And, then, some of the individual fuel assemblies are canisterized, seal welded with an inert gas on top of that.ĪRNOLD: Depending on that characterization to have been correct-as to the facility?ĬRAUN: Yes, sir. ![]() ![]() One canister has a set of screens at the bottom to make sure that fuel itself doesn't fall out of the assembly or out of that canister. We can receive failed assemblies, canisterized. If it's not known to be failed, then in fact we would expect to handle that directly, to lift that assembly up. We have different ways in which we can receive failed or damaged fuel from the utility. How dependent are you on the ability of the fuel assemblies themselves to be handled without losing physical integrity?ĬRAUN: Well, a fuel handling facility is designed, there's different cladding conditions. ![]() I need to learn more about the fuel handling facility. GARRICK: Questions? Okay, let's go with Howard.
