Design objectives for light water spent fuel storage facilities at nuclear power plants
This standard presents minimum design requirements of facilities for the storage and preparation for shipment of spent fuel from light-water moderated and cooled nuclear power stations. It contains requirements for the design of the spent fuel storage pool, including spent fuel storage racks, pool make-up, instrumentation and cleanup systems, pool structure and integrity, radiation shielding, residual heat removal, ventilation, filtration and radiation monitoring systems; the cask loading area, including illumination, radiation monitoring, requirements for handling and decontamination of the shipping casks; and building structure and integrity, including requirements for ventilation, containment, fire protection and communication.
