Abstract
Spent fuel is moved from the reactor into the spent fuel pool when nuclear power plant permanently shutdown. The sole function of a permanently defueled facility is to store spent fuel in a quiescent state. The function of electric system and loads are reduced. It is necessary to establish an operating strategy of electric system in the permanent shutdown nuclear plant. This paper reviews required loads and design criteria considering transition to permanent shutdown. An operating strategy of onsite electric system is proposed considering decommissioning strategy and stage of defueled condition.
