dc.description.abstractThe Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has operated the 10 MW DIDO class High Flux Materials Test Reactor (HIFAR) since 1958. Refuelling the reactor produces about 38 spent fuel elements each year. In 1999, ANSTO signed a contract with COGEMA for the management of all non-US origin spent fuel, and two shipments to La Hague have been completed to date. Prior to a fuel shipment, ANSTO provides COGEMA with the spent fuel characteristics. Together with ANSTO, COGEMA has developed criteria for acceptance of HIFAR spent fuel at La Hague. These include visual inspections, testing of fuel that may be unsound, and a final check of a gas sample drawn from a filled transport cask. © 2003 The Authorsen_AU
