shielding and criticality safety analyses for spent fuel transportation cask in tehran research reactor
in this research, shielding and criticality safety calculations carried out for interim storage and transportation cask in the tehran research reactor. such dual purpose cask is being designed to the spent fuel elements of research reactors. the monte carlo mcnp5 code calculation was utilized for the criticality safety analysis and origen2.1code was used for shielding calculation. according to ...
متن کاملSafety Analysis of Spent Fuel Transportation Cask of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant through the Passing of Fire Tunnel with ANSYS®10.0
The spent fuel assemblies (FAs) of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant are planed to be transported by TK-13 casks. Each spent fuel transportation cask holds 12 spent FAs and has a thick steel container to provide shielding. The calculations have been performed for FAs with burn ups of 60 MWd/kg and a 3-years cooling period. The ANSYS®10.0 general finite element analysis package was se...
متن کاملModal Analysis of Spent Fuel Cask for WWER-1000 Reactors
The Spent Fuel Assemblies (SFAs) of WWER-1000 reactors are planned to be transported by special containers which are supposed to be designed in a manner to stand against vibrations and impacts in order to protect the spent fuel from any possible damage. The vibration opposition of these containers shall be far beyond the critical resonance, because the resonances about the natural frequency of ...
متن کاملFire Tests and Analyses of a Rail Cask-Sized Calorimeter
Three large open pool fire experiments involving a calorimeter the size of a spent fuel rail cask were conducted at Sandia National Laboratories’ Lurance Canyon Burn Site. These experiments were performed to study the heat transfer between a very large fire and a large cask-like object. In all of the tests, the calorimeter was located above the center of a 7.93m diameter fuel pan, elevated 1m a...
متن کاملInvestigation of the required thickness of thorium spent fuel lead transport cask depending on different fuel burnups and cooling times
Thorium fuels have attracted researcher’s attention due to the reduction of uranium deposits in the world, more abundances than uranium, and the ability to be breeding in thermal and fast reactors. This study aimed to investigate the radiation safety and the amount of necessary shielding for the transportation of spent thorium fuel in the Tehran Research Reactor. The ORIGEN and MCNPX computatio...
