Description

Conceptual designs are presented for conventional, remote air-cooled and remote water-cooled storage of irradiated nuclear fuels. Detailed comparisons of the three concepts are made on the bases of operation/maintenance, safety, and cost/schedule considerations. The remote water-cooled concept was judged to be the most attractive from the overall technical basis. acceptance of new technology and timing for the decision-making process led to the selection of the conventional (deep-pool) storage concept for construction at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant
