CERTIFICATION

NAC International
ABSTRACT
Cask owners and the Department of
Energy have invested considerable effort and resources toward certification of
transportation casks for the broad variety of research reactor spent
fuels. Adoption of the IAEA’s latest cask safety recommendations, TS-1-R, by the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) presents a new challenge to cask
owners wishing to continue their cask certifications at the highest possible
level. The paper will present the
efforts required by NAC International in certifying the NAC-LWT to TS-1-R and
the interaction with NRC leading to the issuance of the new cask certificate.
