Development of fuel handling system in FaCT project, 3; Thermal analysis on fresh fuel cask

Chikazawa, Yoshitaka  ; Hirata, Shingo; Kato, Atsushi ; Obata, Hiroyuki*

In commercialized sodium cooled fast reactor development, minor-actinide bearing fuel is adopted to reduce environmental burden. A new shipping cask with certain shielding and cooling capacity is required to transport fresh subassemblies of minor-actinide bearing fuel. In this paper, a helium gas cask has been selected as a fresh fuel shipping cask, since sodium cooled fast reactor fresh fuel refrains to contact with water before core loading. Heat transfer analyses have been conducted to evaluate feasibility of the helium cask as a minor-actinide fresh fuel shipping cask.
