Scenario analysis loss of heat removal from the spent fuel pool on nuclear power plant
Глобальная ядерная безопасность, 2023 The spent nuclear fuel storage system is designed to store and cool spent fuel for several years taking into account scheduled reloads and unloading of the entire core accumulated after use in a nuclear reactor. It consists of special pools or containers

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.

Analysis of loss of cooling accident in VVER-1000/V446 spent fuel pool using RELAP5 and MELCOR codes
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023 Following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the simulation of accidents in the spent fuel pool has become more noticeable. Despite the low amount of decay heat power, the consequences of the accidents in a spent fuel pool (SFP) can be severe due to the ...

Probabilistic safety assessment of Koeberg spent fuel pool
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 The effective management of spent fuel pool (SFP) safety has been raised as one of the emerging issues to further enhance nuclear installation safety after the Fukushima accident on March 11, 2011. SFP safety-related issues have been mainly focused on (a)

The influence of tritium behaviour on spent fuel pool concrete
Progress in Nuclear EnergyThis paper investigates the effects caused by Tritium released from spent nuclear fuel (SNF) stored into a spent nuclear pool made of (reinforced) concrete. The release of tritium from fuel elements to coolant during normal LWRs operation is of 1 % while during 6–20 years of wet storage is assessed to 13–45 %. Permanent Tritium concentration in coolant
