摘要： Systems and methods of loading and/or removing spent nuclear fuel from a spent nuclear fuel pool are disclosed. A spent fuel basket compatible with a dry storage and/or transport system is disposed in a spent nuclear fuel pool. At least one spent fuel assembly is loaded in one of a plurality of chambers associated with the spent fuel basket. The spent fuel basket is inserted into a spent fuel canister. The spent fuel canister is loaded into a transfer cask. The spent fuel canister is then transferred from the transfer cask to a storage cask or a transport cask, which can be sealed and stored on-site or in an off-site storage facility.
