Abstract:

The Virginia Electric and Power Company has proposed to transport irradiated nuclear fuel from its current storage location at the Surry nuclear power station to its North Anna nuclear generating station for storage at that facility. Five routes were proposed for the shipment of the irradiated nuclear fuel between the two power stations. However, after the available routes had been carefully reviewed, three more routes were added to give a total of eight feasible routes. The methodology used in this paper for route selection is based primarily on US DOT guidelines, with several modifications and additions to enhance their applicability to the route conditions under consideration.
