Abstract
The possible allowance of reactivity credit for the exposure history o fpower reactor fuel has spurred interest because of the potential of g reatly reduced risk and cost when applied to the design and certificat ion of spent-fuel casks used for transportation and storage. Previous pressurized wafer reactor feasibility assessments are extended to boil ing water reactor fuel.
