Sud, please find attached a draft writing on the subject (Word 5.1 format). I guess the next process is to: reflect your comments on the draft, run through a quick editing, and prepare a final copy in the form of a letter from me to you??! Hee
متن کاملModal Analysis of Spent Fuel Cask for WWER-1000 Reactors
The Spent Fuel Assemblies (SFAs) of WWER-1000 reactors are planned to be transported by special containers which are supposed to be designed in a manner to stand against vibrations and impacts in order to protect the spent fuel from any possible damage. The vibration opposition of these containers shall be far beyond the critical resonance, because the resonances about the natural frequency of ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the required thickness of thorium spent fuel lead transport cask depending on different fuel burnups and cooling times
Thorium fuels have attracted researcher’s attention due to the reduction of uranium deposits in the world, more abundances than uranium, and the ability to be breeding in thermal and fast reactors. This study aimed to investigate the radiation safety and the amount of necessary shielding for the transportation of spent thorium fuel in the Tehran Research Reactor. The ORIGEN and MCNPX computatio...
متن کاملSpent Fuel Pool Human Reliability Analysis (HRA), Draft for Comment
One of the key issues that has emerged in performing a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for the spent fuel pool during the decommissioning phase of a nuclear power plant's lifecycle is how much credit can be given to the operating staff to respond to an incident that impacts the spent fuel pool that would, if not attended to, lead to a loss of cooling of the spent fuel and eventually to a zi...
متن کاملAppendix 20 Structural Integrity of Spent Fuel Pool Structures Subject to Heavy Loads Drops, Draft for Comment
A heavy load drop into the spent fuel pool, or onto the spent fuel pool wall, can affect the structural integrity of the spent fuel pool. A loss-of-inventory from the spent fuel pool could occur as a result of a heavy load drop. The staff evaluated heavy loads as Generic Technical Activity A-36, which resulted in the publication of NUREG-0612 [Ref. 1]. Cask handling is expected to be the domina...
