Description
Some fuel may be damaged (e.g., cladding failures) prior to placing it in canisters. Such damaged cladding would result in radionuclide release immediately upon canister failure. No credit is given to the cladding as a post-canister breaching containment barrier, so this is eliminated from further consideration.
