An approach to a cask selection for SNF shipment from research reactor is considered in the presented paper. A general review of the activities in the volume and scope of the tasks that need to be fulfilled for this purpose was made and they mark the main directions for necessary researches and close examinations. The  resented approach is applied to a cask selection for SNF shipment from the nuclear research reactor IRT-2000, Sofia, Bulgaria. The number of spent fuel assemblies (SFA) for shipment was 73 +1 (a penal containing 6 separated fuel elements), of which 16 HEU SFA of type C - 36, and 57 LEU SFA of type EK – 10. One of the HEU SFA was containing both types of fuel and the penal was containing 6 separated fuel elements of EK – 10type... view more»
