The paper presents results of nuclear criticality safety analysis spent fuel storage and handling for the 1st 2nd unit NPP Mochovce. Spent pool (compact reserve grid) T-12 transport cask were modeled using Monte Carlo code MCNP5. Conservative approach was applied calculation max eff k values performed normal various postulated emergency conditions in order to evaluate final maximal values. requ...

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...
