Potential Multi-Canister Overpack Cask Drop in the K West Basin South Loadout Pit.

DE2003807602

Publication Date	2001
Personal Author	Rittmann, P. R.
Page Count	42
Abstract	The purpose of this calculation note is to document the probabilistic calculation of a potential drop of a multi-canister overpack (MCO) cask or MCO cask and immersion pail on a per lift basis at the K West Basin south loadout pit. This calculation note supports both initial cask loading system alignment activities and normal operations. To perform normal operations in the basin, an MCO cask needs to be lifted four different times. A probabilistic calculation of the potential for a drop will be used for the MCO lifts required during operations.
