Dry storage of spent light-water-reactor fuel: demonstrations and designs
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6743837
Interim dry storage of commercially produced light water reactor (LWR) fuel is addressed in this document. Existing and proposed demonstrations and conceptual designs are presented. Design, operation, and cost of vaults (canyons), casks, concrete silos, and drywells (caissons) are discussed. In addition, descriptions of completed and proposed fuel integrity studies on dry-stored LWR fuel are included. 29 figures, 3 tables.
