Experimental Installation for the Study of Heat Transfer in Helium Environment During Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Abstract

The duration and methods of intermediate storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are the subject of constant debate due to economic, licensing and social problems. In this article, the authors present a description of the installation for studying heat transfer in helium environment during dry storage of spent nuclear fuel. Presented a general description of the installation, as well as the planned scenario of the tests that will be carried out.
