Wet storage of spent fuel
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5113665
This paper briefly outlines the status of wet storage of spent fuels in the United States. The following information is presented: number of LWR fuel assemblies in wet storage; location, type, cladding and failed fuel of stored spent fuel assemblies; storage capabilities; current trend (extend burnup); basis for assessing spent fuel behavior in wet storage; handling operations with spent fuel. The report summarizes that there have been no problems encountered in the storage of spent fuels in pools, and that there is no evidence of fuel cladding degrading in wet storage. (ATT)
