Preliminary criticality safety evaluation of long-term storage of spent nuclear fuels

Okuno, Hiroshi  ; Suyama, Kenya; Okuda, Yasuhisa*; Yoshiyama, Hiroshi*; Miyoshi, Yoshinori

In this research, a preliminary critical safe evaluation of a canister was performed, which stored either (1) four UO$$_{2}$$ fuel assemblies (initial uranium enrichment of 4.1 wt%) or (2) four mixed uranium and plutonium oxide (MOX) fuel assemblies (initial plutonium enrichment of 10 wt%) for pressurized-water reactors (PWRs) in the earth for 1000 years without a crash of a fuel bundle. Ten actinide nuclides were chosen, most of which based on "A Guide Introducing Burnup Credit, Preliminary Version", and their compositions were computed with the SWAT code system. Criticality calculations were carried out with the MVP code adopting the computed composition, and the neutron multiplication factor was calculated to be less than 0.9. Issues for consideration were finally summarized.
