Modeling of Coolant Flow Within the Spent Fuel Storage Pool of a VVER 440 Reactor
Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2017 The article deals with modelling of coolant flow within the spent fuel storage pool of a VVER 440 reactor. The spent fuel storage pool is modelled in a state of standard reactor operation.

Investigation of the condition of spent-fuel pool components [PDF]
, 1981 It is currently projected that spent nuclear fuel, which is discharged from the reactor and then stored in water pools, may remain in those pools for several decades. Other studies have addressed the expected integrity of the spent fuel during extended water storage; this study assesses the integrity of metallic spent fuel pool components. Results from

Calculation of dose rates due to loss-of-coolant accident in open-pool spent-fuel storage
Radiation Protection and Environment, 2018 The objective of the spent-fuel storage pool is shielding the worker and public from radiation emitted by radioactive decay in the spent fuel and providing a barrier for any radioactive release.

Analysis of Fukushima Daiichi unit 4 spent fuel pool using MELCOR [PDF]
, 2022 A spent fuel pool is a temporary storage facility designed to store the nuclear fuel assemblies removed from the reactor core. Here, the depleted fuel is vertically arranged in racks structures, accurately spaced to ensure subcriticality safety margins ...

Investigation of Spent Nuclear Fuel Pool Coolability
, 2011 The natural catastrophe at Fukushima Dai-ichi 2011 enlightened the nuclear community. This master thesis reveals the non-negligible risks regarding the short term storage of spent nuclear fuel. The thesis has also investigated the possibility of using natural circulation of air in a passive safety system to cool the spent nuclear fuel pools.

Behavior of spent nuclear fuel in water pool storage
, 1977 Storage of irradiated nuclear fuel in water pools (basins) has been standard practice since nuclear reactors first began operation approximately 34 years ago. Pool storage is the starting point for all other fuel storage candidate processes and is a candidate for extended interim fuel storage until policy questions regarding reprocessing and ultimate ...
