Spent fuel dry storage technology development: thermal evaluation of sealed storage cask containing spent fuel

Technical Report Schmitten, P. F. ; Wright, J. B.

A PWR spent fuel assembly was encapsulated inside the E-MAD Hot Bay and placed in a instrumented above surface storage cell during December 1978 for thermal testing. Instrumentation provided to measure canister, liner and concrete temperatures consisted of thermocouples which were inserted into tubes on the outside of the canister and liner and in three radial positions in the concrete. Temperatures from the SSC test assembly have been recorded throughout the past 16 months. Canister and liner temperatures have reached their peak values of 200{sup 0}F and 140{sup 0}F, respectively. Computer predictions of the transient and steady-state temperatures show goodmore » agreement with the test data.« less

Computational Fluid Dynamics Best Practice Guidelines in the Analysis of Storage Dry Cask

Conference Zigh, A ; Solis, J

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are used to evaluate the thermal performance of a dry cask under long term storage conditions in accordance with NUREG-1536 [NUREG-1536, 1997]. A three-dimensional CFD model was developed and validated using data for a ventilated storage cask (VSC-17) collected by Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The developed Fluent CFD model was validated to minimize the modeling and application uncertainties. To address modeling uncertainties, the paper focused on turbulence modeling of buoyancy driven air flow. Similarly, in the application uncertainties, the pressure boundary conditions used to model the air inlet and outlet vents were investigated and validated.more »« less
Development of Thermal Analysis Capability of Dry Storage Cask for Spend Fuel Interim Storage

Conference Ko, Fu-Kuang ; Liang, Thomas K.S. ; Yang, Chung-Yu

As most of the nuclear power plants, on-site spent fuel pools (SFP) of Taiwan's plants were not originally designed with a storage capacity for all the spent fuel generated over the operating life by their reactors. For interim spent fuel storage, dry casks are one of the most reliable measures to on-site store over-filled assemblies from SFPs. The NUHOMS{sup R}-52B System consisting of a canister stored horizontally in a concrete module is selected for thermal evaluation in this paper. The performance of each cask in criticality, radioactive, material and thermal needs to be carefully addressed to ensure its enduring safety.more »« less
Thermal analysis of dry spent-fuel transportation and storage casks

Journal Article Chen, Xinhui ; Todreas, N - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

An important objective for a spent-fuel transportation and storage cask is to remove decay heat from the fuel array sufficiently to prevent clad degradation by maintaining it below a specified design limit. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate conduction and radiation models by the COBRA-SFS code through benchmarking by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology effective conductivity model. A bundle-lumping method is also presented that makes it feasible to numerically simulate large fuel bundles economically while achieving adequate accuracy.
