A transient thermal conduction model for calculating temperature distribution in spent nuclear fuel repository

Description

A transient thermal conduction model was developed to determine temperature distribution in a spent nuclear fuel repository. Individual canisters containing spent nuclear fuels bundles are represented as finite-length linear sources in continuous medium. The combined effects of multiple canisters in a representative storage pattern can be established in a medium at selected points of interest by superposition of the temperature rises calculated for each canister.
