Modal 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 کاملSpent Fuel Reprocessing: an Overview
India has entered in the field of spent fuel reprocessing as early as sixties by way of R&D studies and finalising the process flow sheet. India's first spent fuel reprocessing plant was commissioned in the year 1965 at Trombay to reprocess spent fuel arising from research reactors. The recovered plutonium is being utilised to feed various programmes of the department. With the passage of time,...
متن کاملResistance of U-233 in Spent Fuel
The factors influencing the level of U-232 contamination in U-233 are examined for heavy-water-moderated, light-water-moderated and liquid-metal cooled fast breeder reactors fueled with natural or low-enriched uranium and containing thorium mixed with the uranium or in separate target channels. U-232 decays with a 69-year half-life through 1.9-year half-life Th-228 to Tl-208, which emits a 2.6 ...
متن کاملPyrochemical Processes for Lwr Spent Fuel
Pyrochemical processes are under development at Argonne National Laboratory for recovery of transuranium (TRU) elements from light water reactor spent fuel. The recovered TRU elements will be used as fuel in the integral fast reactor (IFR). Burning these long-lived isotopes for electrical power generation has the additional benefit of reducing the burden on the geological repository for their l...
متن کاملBULK GaAs-BASED NEUTRON DETECTORS FOR SPENT FUEL ANALYSIS
Bulk GaAs-based B coated detectors are under investigation as potential devices to assist in transmission analysis of spent nuclear fuel elements. The GaAs detectors are presently being investigated for their radiation hardness, neutron sensitivity and gamma ray insensitivity. The devices are to be used for evaluation, at first, with thermal neutrons, and later with 24 keV neutrons. Preliminary...
