Performance Specification: This performance specification document addresses use of a standardized transportation, aging, and disposal (STAD) canister system in the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) waste management system. This document was developed to support STAD canister system studies and potential research, development, and demonstration activities. Requirements in this specification may evolve with time based on results from analyses, experiments, design studies, system evaluations and demonstrations, as well as other factors.
Rationale for the Performance Specification: This document provides the rationale for the specifications for the standardized transportation, aging, and disposal (STAD) canister systems provided in Performance Specification for Standardized Transportation, Aging, and Disposal Canister Systems, FCRD-NFST-2014 000579, Rev. 2, referred to as STAD Spec herein. The STAD Spec was developed to support STAD canister system studies and potential research, development, and demonstration activities. Requirements in the specification may evolve with time based on results from analyses, experiments, design studies, system evaluations and demonstrations, as well as other factors.
