Long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel
Nature Materials, 2015To design reliable and safe geological repositories it is critical to understand how the characteristics of spent nuclear fuel evolve with time, and how this affects the storage environment.

Experience in the Transport of Spent Nuclear Fuel
1989Unique experience has been gained by three Companies, BNFL, PNTL and NTL, through the transport of 8500 tonnes of Magnox and Oxide spent fuel over the past 20 years. These transports have taken place from the reactor sites in eight European countries and Japan to the reprocessing plants at Sellafield and La Hague.

Storing the world's spent nuclear fuel
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1985The United States could offer commercial disposal for other nations' spent nuclear fuel without undue difficulty, the authors argue, and could, at the same time, reduce the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation.

Centralization of Canada’s Spent Nuclear Fuel
Volume 6: Beyond Design Basis Events; Student Paper Competition, 2013Currently in Canada, spent fuel produced from Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) is in the interim storage all across the country. It is Canada’s long-term strategy to have a national geologic repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel for CANada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors. The initial problem is to identify a means to centralize Canada’s spent

Sources of Radiotoxicity in Spent Nuclear Fuel
2013Spent nuclear fuel is an important component of the nuclear waste in nuclear energy sector. It consists of fission products, and actinides. The composition and quantity of radionuclides in spent nuclear fuel depends on nuclear fission yields, initial nuclear fuel composition and the fuel burn-up.
