Abstract:The United States (US) Department Of Energy (DOE) has addressed the thermal analysis of the Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) stored within a dry cask system as a matter of high priority. In this regard, it is of utmost importance that simulation tools effectively reproduce the general thermal behavior of the modelled cask, including heat exchange and removal. Temperature distribution in the different components of the system is usually the focus of performed thermal analyses. In particular, attention is paid to the ma… Show more
