Track 2: Spent Fuel and High Level Waste storage and subsequent transportability

Oral

Now only one Dry Storage Facility of Spent Nuclear Fuel (DSFSNF) is operated in Ukraine – facility on Zaporizhska NPP. Many different thermal investigations were done for ventilated containers of DSFSNF. In this work the generalization of scientific approaches to the thermal safety assessment are carried out. The multi-stage approach to the definition of thermal state of containers' group,...

7. TRANSPORTATION CASK AND CONCRETE MODULE DESIGN FOR MANAGING NUCLEAR SPENT FUEL PRODUCED IN BUSHEHR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Track 2: Spent Fuel and High Level Waste storage and subsequent transportability

Oral

Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, commercially operated in Sep 2013, is a Russian type VVER 1000/446; its reactor core consists of 163 fuel assemblies which have 3 up to 4 years’ fuel life time. In this pressurized water reactor, removed spent fuel assemblies are transferred into a pool near the core. This pool has been designed to store spent fuels for 9 years and after this period, this pool will...

147. Spent nuclear fuel storage: concepts and safety issues

Frédéric Ledroit

Track 2: Spent Fuel and High Level Waste storage and subsequent transportability

Oral

The IRSN (Institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nucléaire), the French technical support organization, was asked by the parliamentary inquiry Committee on the safety and security of nuclear installations to provide a report on the concepts and safety issues regarding storage of spent fuel from nuclear power reactors.
Based on its expertise in France and on its knowledge acquired during...

164. Thermal Modeling Round Robin of the High-Burnup Demonstration Cask

Dr Aladar Csontos (Electric Power Research Institute)

25/06/2019, 15:00

Track 2: Spent Fuel and High Level Waste storage and subsequent transportability

Oral

Thermal analyses of dry storage systems use margins in their design basis input assumptions to ensure the peak cladding temperature does not exceed an established regulatory limit. Due to these margins, a best-estimate understanding of the thermal behavior of the dry storage system is generally not available from these design licensing basis models. The development of accurate best-estimate...

83. A Proposed Regulatory Perspective on the Security Requirements for Spent Nuclear Fuel

Dr Zeinab F. Hassan Akl (Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority)

25/06/2019, 15:20

Track 2: Spent Fuel and High Level Waste storage and subsequent transportability

Oral

Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) possesses potential security risks; consequently, nuclear security issues have to be considered and addressed for effective management of SNF. The vulnerability of SNF to theft, for constructing a radiological dispersal device, and to the terrorist attack during storage or transport is a major concern for States having such type of nuclear materials. Hence, the...

190. Overview of regulatory framework on dry cask storage in Japan

Dr Takanori Nishizaki (Senior Officer, Regulatory Policy Planning Division, Nuclear Regulation Authority)

25/06/2019, 15:40

Track 2: Spent Fuel and High Level Waste storage and subsequent transportability

Oral

On March 2019, the regulatory body of Japan, NRA, issued new regulations on dual purpose cask (DPC) for dry storage of spent fuel on the site, along with the licensing process of design certification on DPC. The requirements ensure consistency with those for the interim storage facility off the site and with transport regulations.
