Synthesis of spent fuel pool accident assessments using severe accident codes
Original language description
The accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant has highlighted the vulnerability of nuclear fuels that are stored in spent fuel pools (SFP) before their evacuation and final disposal or possible reprocessing. This vulnerability is due to thepotential loss of sufficient fuel cooling in case of internal events or of extreme external events such as earthquake or flooding. Further, the limited number of barriers containing the radioactive products, the fuel cladding is typically the only barrier in an SFP whereas there are three physical barriers when the fuel is in the reactor (the fuel cladding, the envelope of the primary circuit and the containment building), induces higher risks of radioactive releases to the environment if sufficient fuel cooling cannot be recovered. This paper presents the results of various assessments of SFP accidents performed with different severe accident codes for different SFP geometries. In these studies, both loss of cooling and loss of water t
