Neutron Tomography of Spent Fuel Casks [PDF]
Journal of Signal Processing Systems, 2021 Dry casks for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) ensure the safe storage of SNF and provide radiation shielding. However, the presence of the thick casks encompassing several layers of steel and concrete makes inspection of the SNF a challenging task. Fast neutron interrogation is a viable method for the nondestructive assay of dry storage casks.

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. 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 ...
