New Methods for Evaluation of Spent Fuel Condition during Long-Term Storage in Slovakia
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2009 Experiences with an advanced spent nuclear fuel management in Slovakia are presented in this paper. The evaluation and monitoring procedures are based on practices at the Slovak wet interim spent fuel storage facility in NPP Jaslovské Bohunice.

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

A Novel Approach to Spent Fuel Pool Decommissioning [PDF]
Nuclear Technology, 2008 The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has been at the forefront of developing methods to reduce the cost and schedule of deactivating spent fuel pools (SFP). Several pools have been deactivated at the INL using an underwater approach with divers. These projects provided a basis for the INL cooperation with the Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 SFP ...

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.

Advancement of a Delayed Gamma Dosimeter for Spent Nuclear Fuel Assay [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Research and ApplicationsAn in-depth fuel assay is crucial for spent nuclear fuel management. Spent fuels with high radiation dose levels also require an appropriate dosimeter. A widely used detector for nuclear radiation dosimetry is the Geiger-Muller detector. Pulses from this

Texas solution or nuclear nightmare? : as a company in the Lone Star State moves to profit from America's dilemma with spent nuclear fuel, others fear the worst [PDF]
, 2015 textThe United States government has sought a permanent disposal site for spent nuclear fuel since 1982. To date, no location for disposing of spent fuel exists.

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2019 Spent fuel pools are used as temporary storage for spent fuel assemblies in nuclear power plants and are filled with coolant which removes the decaying heat from spent fuel assemblies. Sloshing of the coolant can occur if an earthquake occurs in the area.

Radiological effect of cask-drop accident in open-pool spent fuel storage
Radiation Protection and Environment, 2018 This study investigates the radiological risk that may occur during transport of cobalt device after irradiation in open-pool-type reactor from the reactor core to the cobalt cell. The cobalt transport process depends on using heavy shielded cask of 3500
