Description

This paper introduces design features of an OASIS- 32D (Optimized And Safe Interim Storage System) metal cask for the transport and storage of the SNFs. An OASIS-32D, PWR SNF metal cask for both transport and storage, is under developing by KEPCO E and C to be compatible with the hoisting load of overhead crane in domestic operating nuclear power plants to handle 32 bundles of PWR fuel. Such a large capacity of cask can reduce radiation exposure and potential risk of accidents by reducing the number of the transport and storage times of SNFs. In addition, it is expected that the OASIS-32D can enhance the utilization of dry storage facilities as well as the economic efficiency of SNF storage facilities.
