HLW Canister RelocaHon & Storage Project
Technical Approach • Move HLW canisters from Chemical Process
Cell racks to decontamina;on sta;on • Decontaminate each HLW canister • Load 5 HLW canisters loaded into mul;-‐
purpose canister (MPC) within shielded cask • Secure and weld the MPC lid remotely • Transfer the casks to new storage loca;on
for eventual shipping

Use current licensed SNF shipping cask, mul;-‐purpose canister (MPC) overpacks, and current SNF storage
cask designs.
MPC Transfer (Future)
