The long-lived actinides and their daughter products largely dominate the biological hazards from spent nuclear fuel already from some 300 years after the discharge from the reactor and onwards . Therefore it is essential to make reliable assessments of the geochemistry of these elements in any concept for long-term storage of spent fuel or reprocessing waste, etc.

A typical multipurpose canister (MPC) is made of austenitic stainless steel and is loaded with spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies. Because heat treatment for stress relief is not required for the construction of the MPC, the canister is susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in the weld or heat affected zone (HAZ) regions under long-term storage conditions. Logic for flaw acceptance is developed should crack-like flaws be detected by Inservice Inspection. The procedure recommended by API 579-1/ASME FFS-1, Fitness-for-Service, is used to calculate the instability crack length or depth by failure assessment diagram (FAD). It is demonstrated that the welding residual stress (RS) has a strong influence on the results.

The objective of the present study is to compare the associated costs of long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel—open cycle strategy—with the associated cost of reprocessing and recycling strategy of spent fuel—closed cycle strategy—based on the current international studies. The analysis presents cost trends for both strategies. Also, to point out the fact that the total cost of spent nuclear fuel management (open cycle) is impossible to establish at present, while the related costs of the closed cycle are stable and known, averting uncertainties.
