Heat transfer in a simulated spent fuel pool for different types of spent fuels
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 ...
