Status of consolidation of LWR spent fuel

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6472118
;
One objective of the Commercial Spent Fuel Management (CSFM) Program, which is sponsored by the US Department of Energy at Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), is to encourage development of technology for spent nuclear fuel rod consolidation in existing power reactor water storage basins. Rod consolidation is a leading candidate for more efficient utilization of existing space in spent fuel storage basins. The fuel and pool component integrity studies in the program provide a useful basis to establish an integrity assessment more specific to rod consolidation. 10 refs.
