Predicting fuel integrity for dry spent-fuel storage

OSTI ID:5366894
Because of structural or other limitations, some utilities are not able to take advantage of reracking, rod consolidation, or double tiering to extend further their existing wet storage capabilities. While new pool storage is possible, significant evidence is available to show that dry storage may provide a viable and favored alternative for the storage of spent fuel. This paper presents fuel rod performance data supporting dry storage in general and more specifically discusses outstanding questions for various storage temperature ranges and dry storage conditions.
