NUHOMS spent-fuel storage demonstration: Program overview
Description
Carolina Power and Light, the US Department of Energy and EPRI are participating in a cooperative program to demonstrate the NUHOMS (NUTECH Horizontal Modular Storage) system for storing spent nuclear fuel. This technology was developed by NUTECH Engineers, who are also participating in the project. The project involves the design, construction and testing of three modules at the H.B. Robinson Plant. Testing will be focused on (1) the system's operating and fuel handling features and (2) confirmation of the thermal and shielding performance of the storage modules. As part of the project, NRC approval of the NUTECH Topical Report on NUHOMS will be obtained as well as issuance of a storage license for the Robinson site. 24 refs., 6 figs., 8 tabs
