First Order Assessment of Heat Transfer due to the Loss of Inventory in a Spent Fuel Pool
… international interest in the behaviour of spent fuel subsequent to a complete loss of water inventory in a spent fuel pool (SFP). The study conducted in this dissertation serves as a starting point in gaining an understanding of the thermal hydraulics and associated heat transfer processes …

Testing the EPRI reactivity depletion decrement uncertainty methods
… and McGuire nuclear power plants) to determine fuel assembly reactivity decrements versus burnup. The analytical techniques used to infer measured assembly reactivities required perturbation calculations using 3D nodal diffusion core models. Subsequently, questions have arisen within the Nuclear …

Evaluation of nuclear spent fuel dry storage casks and storage facility designs
… power station in Africa and it stores its spent nuclear fuel (SNF) onsite in the spent fuel pool (SFP). Additional aged SNF assemblies are stored in dry storage casks in a facility located on the KNPS site. This minor research dissertation aims at evaluating various dry storage cask found …

Physics and engineering aspects of South Africa's proposed dry storage facility for spent nuclear fuel
… costs and high-level waste 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 …

Development of a Novel Fuel Burnup Methodology and Algorithm in RAPID and its Benchmarking and Automation
Fuel burnup calculations provide material concentrations and intrinsic neutron and gamma source strengths as a function of irradiation and cooling time. Detailed, full-core 3D burnup calculations are critical for nuclear fuel management studies, including core design and spent fuel storage safety …
