The NuPac 140-B 100 Ton Rail/Barge Shipping Cask Preliminary Design Report (PDR) presents a general introduction to, and description of, the NuPac 140-B Cask and its fuel payload. The NuPac 140-B Cask, Model: NuPac 140-B, is being designed by Nuclear Packaging, Inc., to meet or exceed all NRC and Department of Transportation regulations governing the shipment of radioactive material. Specifically the Cask is being developed as a safe means of transporting spent light-water-reactor (LWR) fuels from existing and proposed reactor facilities to a repository and/or a monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facility. The primary transportation mode is by railroad, although the shipping package is designed to be transported by barge and by truck shipment on a special overweight basis for short distances. This feature allows the servicing of reactor sites and other facilities which lack direct railroad access.
