Abstract:
Spent fuel in-plant transport is a valid solution to solve space shortage for spent fuel storage in nuclear power plants. This paper analyzes the design criteria and the safety risk of spent fuel in-plant transport, and describes the working principle and application of the damaged fuel detecting equipment and the spent fuel cooling equipment. The application results show that the damaged fuel detecting equipment can identify the damaged fuel in the spent fuel cask efficiently and the spent fuel cooling equipment can cool down the spent fuel cask with spent fuels.
