The storage container for demonstrate BWR spent nuclear fuel dry storage in Taiwan

Considering the unique operation of each nuclear power plant and lack BWR fuel examination data after dry storage, Taiwan Power Company Institute Nuclear Energy Research conduct "The Fuel Storage Demonstration Project in Taiwan" to collect characteristics under storage. In this project, rods among different designs venders will be loaded into a simulated storage cask for 10 years. Different temperatures environments adopted, normal condition acceleration experiments performed. Non-destructed examinations executed prior loading periodically during After years, extracted examined non-destructively destructively. This paper summarized methodology demonstrate adequacy spent design fabrication containers, results performance test project progress. Two containers used prospective experiments; one is condition. The other accelerated various conditions. completion collected research compared with international projects provide technical basis Taiwan.
