The storage and secure of SNF should be manage in a safe manner. Egyptian Nuclear Power Plant Authority (ENPPA) is responsible for the safe management of spent nuclear fuel produced by nuclear power plant. The Egyptian nuclear power plant project consists of four Units with VVER-1200 reactors. The operation of 4 NPP units will be accompanied with the accumulation of SNF in the amount of 168...

Short-term operation process of spent fuel means the series of steps occurring in spent fuel building, from loading of spent fuel into shipping casks before transportation. This process includes loading of fuel into shipping casks, sealing of lids, drainage inside canister, drying, and backfilling. The distribution of peak cladding temperature of spent fuel over time tends to be different for...

MCNPX computer code is used to model the general cask GBC-32 which contain 32 typical PWR spent fuel assemblies. For Safe storage and transportation of the cask, factors that affect the criticality were studied using the concept of burn up credit. Several parameters such as initial fuel enrichment, fuel burnup, cooling time, and axial burnup profile were analysed. The analysis was ...
