Spent Fuel Heating Analysis Code for Consolidated and Unconsolidated Fuel*

Many nuclear power plants are running out of storage space in their reactor pools for storing spent fuel. On-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSls) can be used to store excess spent fuel. All ISFSis, both wet and dry types, must be licensed under 10 CFR 72. To license an ISFSI, a utility must submit a Safety Analysis Report (SAR) to demonstrate that the ISFSI design, construction, and operation comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 72. For cask storage systems, the SAR may reference a Topical Safety Analysis Report (TSAR) which has been submitted by a cask supplier and shows compliance with 10 CFR 72.
