The need for extended dry and wet storage and potential transportation of commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is of heightened interest to various stakeholders. In this paper session, speakers will present recent studies and activities associated with the safe storage and transportation (e.g., advances in, demonstrations of, studies of, etc. cask/overpack system designs or site infrastructure improvements) of commercial SNF.
