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.

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 ...

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.
