Spent Nuclear Fuel passive gamma analysis and reproducibility: Application to SKB-50 assemblies
Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2023 This work studies the reproducibility of passive gamma spectroscopy measurements for spent nuclear fuels (SNFs). The fifty assemblies used for this study span over a variety of initial enrichments, burnups, and cooling times. These SNFs have been measured in two different gamma axial measurement campaigns. The net peak counts are determined for Cs-137,

Analysis of the Processes in Spent Fuel Pools in Case of Loss of Heat Removal due to Water Leakage
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2013 The safe storage of spent fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pools is very important. These facilities are not covered by leaktight containment; thus, the consequences of overheating and melting of fuel in the spent fuel pools can be very severe.
