A system for space disposal of the most radioactive component of the spent fuel produced by the nuclear reactors is designed conceptually with an intent of ensuring safety. Unlike the earlier design by NASA, this system is to use a commercially available launch vehicle and be launched from the western Pacific Ocean. It will fly low until it acquires Earth-escape velocity, so that the nuclear package...
When spent fuel assemblies from the reactor of nuclear power plants (NPPs) are transported or stored, the assemblies are exposed to a variety of environments that can affect the peak cladding temperature. There are three models to calculate the peak cladding temperature of spent fuel assemblies in a cask: Manteufel and Todreas’s two-region model, Bahney Lotz’s effective thermal conductivity model,...
