N-Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel Criticality Calculations
N-Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel Criticality Calculations
The purpose of this calculation is to characterize the criticality safety aspects of N-Reactor fuel stored in a Department of Energy spent nuclear fuel (DOE-SNF) canister that contains four Multi-Canister Overpacks (MCO's). These calculations will be done to support the analysis that will be done to demonstrate concept viability related to pre-emplacement storage and use in the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR) environment for the pre-closure time frame.

Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, Ukraine National Report
Spent fuel and radioactive waste management constitutes the final stage in power production at nuclear power plants and utilisation of ionising radiation sources in medicine, agriculture, industry and science. The importance of this stage for environmental protection, public health and safety can be hardly overestimated. The future of nuclear energy in Ukraine and worldwide depends upon effective state policy and successful practices in the safe management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste.
