Description

The characteristics of WWER and RBMK spent fuel are given, and the storage conditions in at-reactor pools and in independent storage facilities are considered. The sources of pool and transport equipment contamination are analyzed. It is shown that when fuel is stored in cans the water contamination of the pool is at the level of a few Bq/1. The existing technology of cask decontamination at NPPs and fuel regeneration plants is considered. (author). 3 refs, 9 figs, 5 tabs
