Description

Industrial Power Company Ltd (TVO) operates two boiling water reactor units of ASEA-ATOM design at Olkiluoto, southwestern Finland. TVO has prepared a programme for management of spent fuel in the future as required by the decision in principle of the Finnish Government. The long-term wet storage is part of the programme. An interim storage facility, TVO-KPA-STORE, is being built at Olkiluoto. According to the timeschedule the first phase of the facility will be completed in December 1987. The first part of this paper describes briefly the design criteria and structure of the interim storage facility. Also the storage and fuel inspection equipment to be used will be presented. The second part of the paper deals with the spent fuel surveillance aspects: execution of the spent fuel surveillance programme in the TVO-reactor pools and outlines for the surveillance programme in TVO-KPA-STORE to be taken into use in the future.
