Used CANDU fuel component integrity in dry storage
Description
Concrete canister dry storage of used CANDU fuel cooled for 6 or more years has been an alternative to extended water pool storage since the seventies. Ontario Hydro has evaluated the possible use of the same concrete canisters for storage, transportation and disposal under helium cover gas. This paper describes the experimental programs in Canada and other countries to investigate the long-term dry storage of CANDU and other used fuel in air and inert gas. Where possible, intercomparison of results is made. 37 refs., 1 fig
