Criticality control of packagings designed for nuclear spent fuel
Description
The IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials require that transport packagings shall be safe from criticality in any foreseeable circumstances during the life time and that spent LWR fuel assemblies shall be regarded as unirradiated. Additionally, the effeciency of built-in neutron absorbers shall be checked before first use and at maintenance periods. Methods proposed for those controls are described and discussed
