The Characterization of Spent Nuclear Fuel in the sealed K West canisters involves four steps, (1) sampling of gas/liquid, (2) ``Lift-and-Look`` visual examinations of fuel elements, (3) sampling of canister sludge, and (4) retrieving fuel for hot cell examinations. This document indicates the choices of particular canisters that were examined during the second characterization campaign in the Hanford K West Basin
