A fuel assembly has been selected for analysis in Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL).

SRNL will remove the assembly from the cask in the Hot Cell. The assembly will have a small sample of a fuel plate removed. The sample will be collected for forensic-quality analyses by the SRNL and the assembly will be returned to Spent Fuel Project (SFP). Upon receipt the assembly will be removed from the cask and returned to storage.
