On the other hand, fuel assemblies containing unused nuclear fuel are stored in the new fuel storage facility in a dry state to prevent nuclear reactions caused by the nuclear fuel, but if water were to enter the new fuel storage facility, , the effective neutron multiplication factor of the new fuel storage facility will increase and become higher. The new fuel storage facility will be submerged in water at a density that maximizes the effective neutron multiplication factor (

However, in conventional new fuel storage facilities, subcriticality was maintained by maintaining a sufficient distance between the fuel storage racks 2 that housed the fuel assemblies, so it was difficult to fully fill the new fuel storage chamber with fuel assemblies. could not be accommodated. In order to accommodate more fuel assemblies in a given space in the fuel storage chamber, the distance between the fuel storage racks 2 can be reduced, but if this distance is shortened, the optimum deceleration condition will not be maintained in the new fuel storage chamber. There was a problem that the new fuel storage facility could not accommodate a large number of fuel assemblies without expanding the space in the storage room.

Next, when a stainless steel safety curtain 24 is interposed between the fuel storage racks 15, 15, the relationship between the inter-rack pitch of the fuel storage racks 15 and the effective neutron multiplication factor in the optimal deceleration state of the new fuel storage equipment. is shown in Figure 5. In FIG. 5, the broken line a shows the case of the conventional new fuel storage equipment, the solid line shows the case of the new fuel storage equipment according to the present invention, and the dashed line α shows the position of the critical point, that is, 1.0. It shows. As can be understood from the figure, in the case of conventional new fuel storage equipment, as the pitch between the fuel storage racks is reduced, the effective neutron multiplication factor quickly reaches a critical point, but in the present invention ( In this case, the effective multiplication factor at the same inter-rack pitch position is significantly lower than before, so it is possible to reduce the inter-rack pitch and achieve densification.This is because conventional new fuel storage facilities have little neutron absorption effect. Do not use aluminum alloy fuel storage racks.
In contrast, in the case of the present invention, a stainless steel safety curtain U with a large neutron absorption cross section was used to maintain subcriticality by maintaining the pitch (distance) between storage racks. By providing between the storage racks 15,
The basic difference is that the effective neutron multiplication factor is actively lowered.

On the other hand, since the effective neutron multiplication factor decreases approximately in proportion to the thickness of the stainless steel safety curtain U, it is possible to further increase the density of the pitch between the racks by increasing the thickness of the safety curtain described in (h). It is possible to sufficiently maintain subcriticality even when densification is attempted. Therefore, it is also effective when storing unused fuel assemblies with higher neutron reactivity than conventional ones, for example, with high uranium enrichment. In conventional new fuel storage facilities, when highly reactive fuel assemblies are stored, the effective neutron multiplication factor of the storage facility increases, and in the optimal deceleration state,
Although there is a possibility of reaching criticality, there is no such fear in the present invention. Furthermore, since the present invention simply involves inserting the stainless steel safety curtain 24, which has a large neutron absorption effect, between the fuel storage racks 15, 15, it can be applied to conventional new fuel storage equipment. The storage racks may be conventional or may be modified to the extent of design changes.
