Is embedding the reactor building below grade a cost-effective proposition?
The construction cost of reactor buildings has escalated substantially over time primarily for three reasons. First, new safety requirements, such as the post-9/11 airplane crash measures, have been imposed. Second, labor rates for construction workers and the cost of raw materials such as steel …

Physics and engineering aspects of South Africa's proposed dry storage facility for spent nuclear fuel
… management. Most spent nuclear fuel from power reactors is currently stored in the spent fuel pools on reactor sites, and some have been reprocessed. It is estimated that about 32% (370 000 tons of Heavy Metal) of the total spent fuel generated from power reactors have been reprocessed up to …
