Abstract:

A modular portable cask transfer (MPCT) facility is capable of transferring a canister containing spent nuclear fuel materials from or to a transportation cask respectively to or from a storage overpack. A transfer cask is utilized for the transfer. Telescoping legs enable movement of the transfer cask independent of the canister, which is moved using a hoist. Due to its modular configuration, the MPCT facility can be assembled, disassembled, and moved from one nuclear power plant to another.
