NUCLEAR AND RADIATION SAFETY DURING LONG-TERM STORAGE OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL OF LAND-BASED REACTOR FACILITY STANDS-PROTOTYPES 27/VT AND KM-1

  • Conference paper
Scientific and Technical Issues in the Management of Spent Fuel of Decommissioned Nuclear Submarines

Abstract

Within the framework of the ISTC Project #2710p between the Russian Research Center “Institute for Physics and Power Engineering” (RRC IPPE, below IPPE) and the Brookhaven National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy an investigation has been performed addressing the issues of nuclear and radiation safety when storing Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) of land-based stands-prototypes 27/VT and KM-1 constructed during the period of developing lead-bismuth coolant reactor installations for Alphaclass Nuclear Submarines (NS). The detailed results of the investigation can be found in the Final Report under this Project [1].
