The HI-STAR 100 transport package is MPC based and fully compatible with the MPCs licensed for storage in the HI-STORM 100 and HI-STORM 100U Systems. The used fuel does not need to be re-packaged from the HI-STORM 100 overpack for placement in the HI-STAR 100 off-site transportation overpack; the used fuel remains fully sealed in the dual purpose MPC.
The HI-STAR 180 transport package is the first transport package licensed to transport high burnup fuel. HI-STAR 180 is capable of the off-site transport of 32 or 37 (14×14) PWR used fuel assemblies. The HI-STAR 180 package consists of a metal cask, the HI-STAR 180 cask, two interchangeable fuel baskets, F-32 and F-37, and two aluminum impact limiters. The HI-STAR 180 metal cask is designed to hold the undamaged PWR used fuel assemblies in the thermally conductive fuel basket comprised solely of Metamic-HT.
The HI-STAR 60 transport package is comprised of the multi-layer steel cylinder HI-STAR 60 cask, the F-12 fuel basket that can transport twelve (15×15) pressurized water reactor (PWR) used nuclear fuel assemblies, and two (2) aluminum impact limiters. Based on the design precepts of HI-STAR 100 design, the HI-STAR 60 features a multi-layer steel shell construction that provides a natural barrier against crack propagation and provides a significant portion of the gamma shielding. The bolted single-lid closure incorporates design features that prevent bolts from direct shear loading.
