  • The safety analyses and evaluation works on the process and facility for ACP demonstration have been performed. The several safety factors, such as the risk, environmental, radiation, structural, criticality, were analyzed. The analysis results confirmed the reliability of the safety on the ACP process and facility during normal and accident conditions.

  • The need for extended storage of used nuclear fuel is increasing globally as disposition schedules for used fuel are pushed further into the future. This is creating a situation where dry storage of used fuel may need to be extended beyond normal regulatory licensing periods. While it is generally accepted that used fuel in dry storage will remain in a safe condition, there is little data that demonstrate used fuel performance in dry storage environments for long periods of time. This is especially true for high burnup used fuel. This paper discusses a technical approach that defines a process that develops the technical basis for demonstrating the safety of used fuel over extended periods of time.
