Spent nuclear fuel - Open Access .click

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2017
Why are terms like “dread,” “danger,” and “intractable” applied to describe the management of the spent nuclear fuel produced by today’s commercial nuclear reactors? The small mass and compact form of this spent fuel are the most positive attributes of nuclear power, when compared to the massive volumes of waste we discharge when fossil fuels are ...

Blind Benchmark Exercise for Spent Nuclear Fuel Decay Heat [PDF]

Nuclear Science and Engineering, 2022
The decay heat rate of five spent nuclear fuel assemblies of the pressurised water reactor type were measured by calorimetry at the interim storage for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden. Calculations of the decay heat rate of five assemblies were performed by

Spent Nuclear Fuel

Elements, 2006
The primary waste form resulting from nuclear energy production is spent nuclear fuel (SNF). There are a number of different types of fuel, but they are predominantly uranium based, mainly UO 2 or, in some cases, metallic U. The UO 2 in SNF is a redox-sensitive semiconductor consisting of a fine-grained (5-10 μm), polycrystalline aggregate containing
