Experience in operation of the Morris Operation storage facility

Creators

  • 1. General Electric Co., Morris, IL

Description

The results of six years experience in receiving and storing spent fuel at the facilities of General Electric's Morris Operations in northeastern Illinois are described. The fuel is stored in water pools; and the conclusion is drawn that storage in this facility for this period of time has resulted in little risk to the public. It is projected that storage for periods of up to 40 years in demineralized water without damage to the fuel or risk of catastropy is a conservative projection
