The Location of Spent Fuel Pins in Heavy Water Research Reactor in the Spent Fuel Pool
Volume 9: Decontamination and Decommissioning, Radiation Protection, and Waste Management, 2022Abstract Heavy Water Research Reactor was the first reactor in China. It adopted metallic uranium as fuel and aluminum alloy as cladding in the beginning. During the refueling procedure many years ago, several fuel pins dropped at the bottom of the spent fuel pool. The amount and the location of the fuel pins were not recorded.

MRS Proceedings, 1990
ABSTRACTThe degradation and dissolution of spent nuclear fuel in groundwaters occurs by three partly concurrent processes: dissolution of mobile species which have migrated to the fuel rod void, grain boundary attack and matrix dissolution. Of the first two processes, both clearly dependent on the irradiation history of the fuel, the first is fairly ...

Optimization of Fuel Storage in Spent Fuel Pool
Volume 9: Student Paper Competition, 2018This paper is the optimization of fuel assembly placement in the spent fuel pool according to the categorized rules. Only some specifically reactivity class assemblies could put together as the pattern. The allowable patterns, the number of the fuel assembly for each reactivity class and the number of RCCAs are from the nuclear power plant technique ...

Spent fuel management in India
Journal of Risk Research, 2009The Indian nuclear story is different from the rest of the nuclear power producing countries largely due to the unique nuclear energy path the country has chosen. The issues regarding the resultant spent nuclear fuel are also accordingly different.

Consolidation of spent fuel rods as an option to increase the capacity of spent fuel pool
1998Using the SCALE-4 code package we have analyzed consolidation possibilities of the NPP Krško spent fuel pool. We considered an approach to capacity increase of the NPP Krško spent fuel pool in which additional racks with consolidated fuel have to be designed and installed in the free space of the spent fuel pool.

Measurement of neutron spectra in spent fuel storage
Applied Radiation and IsotopesThe neutron spectrum was measured at two locations in the spent fuel storage facility of the Temelín nuclear power plant. The measurement had two primary objectives: to map the neutron -γ field by quantifying the ambient dose equivalent H∗(10) and to identify methods that could improve the quality of the adjusted neutron spectrum using a Bonner Sphere ...

Nuclear Technology, 1979
Irradiated nuclear fuel has been stored in water pools at essentially all nuclear reactors, beginning with the earliest plants in 1943. Fuel from water-cooled power reactors is clad either with Zircaloy or with stainless steel. Zircaloy-clad fuel has been stored US pools since 1959.

Radiological Implications of Spent Fuel Pool Capacity Increase by Spent Fuel Consolidation
2000Our recent analysis showed that from the criticality standpoint it is possible to increase capacity of the NPP Krško spent fuel pool by spent fuel consolidation to accommodate spent fuel assemblies for plant lifetime. The spent fuel consolidation will also impact the radiation dose rates in the vicinity of the NPP Krško spent fuel pool.
