Certification Testing of United States Department of Energy Atlas and Buffer Railcars – Phase 4 Report
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is laying the groundwork for implementing an integrated nuclear waste management system. This includes preparing for future large-scale transport of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste, since transport will be a necessary component of any integrated nuclear waste management system. With this project, DOE will provide for the transportation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste by means of a specific railcar to carry casks.
