[en] Paks Nuclear Power Plant is the only NPP of Hungary. It has 4 WWER-440 type units. Since 1989, approximately 40-50% of the total yearly electricity generation of the country has been supplied by this plant. The fresh nuclear fuel is imported mostly from Russia and the spent fuel assemblies are shipped back to Russia for later reprocessing after 5 years of decay storage in the spent fuel pools. Spent fuel transports continue to take place, but to provide assurance of the continued operation, Paks NPP's management decided to implement an independent spent fuel storage facility (ISFSF) and choose the GEC-ALSTHOM's MVDS design. The construction of the ISFSF started in March 1995 and the facility was commissioned in 1997. The paper gives general information about the spent fuel arisings, the storage at the site, the shipments to Russia, the implementation process of the ISFSF and about situation with the spent fuel at the Hungarian research reactors.
