Thermal Modelling of Advanced Test Reactor Fuel in a Generalized Dry Storage System
- Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
Star-CCM+, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software was used to conduct modeling and simulation of the thermal performance of a dry storage configuration consisting of Department of Energy Standardized Canisters (DOESCs) loaded with aluminum-clad spent nuclear fuel (ASNF.) The configuration includes nine DOESCs loaded with Advanced Test Reactor ASNF contained within a stainless steel overcanister centered in a ventilated, concrete overpack. The simulations were used to estimate the maximum temperatures reached by backfill gases inside the overcanister and DOESCs.
