Spent fuel storage under wet conditions. A review of the Indian experience
Description
The nuclear fuel used in the thermal reactor systems operated so far in India is essentially of three types - the aluminium clad uranium metal fuel from the research reactors, the zircaloy clad uranium oxide fuel assemblies of the BWR type and the zircaloy clad uranium oxide fuel assemblies of the PHWR type. Over the years considerable experience has been gathered in the wet storage of spent fuel discharged by these reactors. The paper reviews the behaviour of the spent fuel under conditions provided by various storage facilities at-reactor and fuel reprocessing plants. (author)
