Abstract: As one kind of interim storage facility, spent fuel storage and transportation casks (DPCs) are an attractive option because of their flexibility and economical efficiency. DPCs need to be designedand verified, so that compliances with regulations for both transport and storage are achieved simultaneously. In this paper, some international experiences areintroduced, concerning DPCs' safety design and verification. It is expected toprovide references for spent fuel storage and transport safety in China.
