Long-Term Radiotoxicity Evaluation of PWR Spent Uranium and MOX Fuel and Highly Active Waste [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 One of the main concerns related to nuclear power production is the generation and accumulation of spent nuclear fuel. Currently most of the spent fuel is stored in interim storage facilities awaiting final disposal or reprocessing.

Heat transfer in a simulated spent fuel pool for different types of spent fuels
Brazilian Journal of Development, 2023 Historically, the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) of Angra II, from Brazil, has received standard spent fuel (SF) assemblies of uranium dioxide (UO2) discharged from Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) of the Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) of Angra. However, in case of using Mixed Oxide (MOX) or thorium-based fuels at a proportion of 1/3 or 1/4 of the total of fuel ...
