Abstract

This paper describes the loading pattern, safety evaluation and operating experiences of PWR plant off-site Spent Fuel Dry Storage System (SFDSS). According to the limits from the SFDSS criticality and heat-Transfer safety analysis, ALARA principle and AFA series fuel characteristics, technical staff complete the loading pattern and safety evaluation by analyzing influence of assemblies initial enrichment, burn up and cooling time. This paper also shows the temperature and dose data during AFA series fuel SFDSS loading, transportation and storage, which can indicate the actual condition of SFDSS criticality, heattransfer and radiation. In general, AFA series fuel SFDSS is in good condition and meet the expected design and safety requirements.
