Description

The paper presents results of nuclear criticality safety analysis of spent fuel storage for the first and second unit of NPP Mochovce. The spent fuel storage pool (compact and reserve grid) was modeled using the Monte Carlo code MCNP5. Conservative approach was applied and calculation of keff values was performed for normal and various postulated emergency conditions in order to evaluate the final maximal keff values. The requirement of current safety regulations to ensure 5% subcriticality was met except one especially conservative case. (Authors)
