Radiation shielding analysis and criticality safety calculation for spent fuel transportation cask [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesChina anticipates a shortage in storage capacity for spent fuels at reactor sites for the AP1000 NPPs within the next 10 to 20 years. We proposed a conceptual design for a transportation cask capable of loading 21 spent fuel assemblies in AP1000 reactors
