摘要： Systems and methods of loading and/or removing spent nuclear fuel from a spent nuclear fuel pool are disclosed. A spent fuel basket compatible with a dry storage and/or transport system is disposed in a spent nuclear fuel pool. At least one spent fuel assembly is loaded in one of a plurality of chambers associated with the spent fuel basket. The spent fuel basket is inserted into a spent fuel canister. The spent fuel canister is loaded into a transfer cask. The spent fuel canister is then transferred from the transfer cask to a storage cask or a transport cask, which can be sealed and stored on-site or in an off-site storage facility.

摘要： Disclosed are apparatus and methods for storing or transporting spent nuclear fuel. In one embodiment, a container (10) for storing spent nuclear fuel comprises a plurality of elongated tubes (2, 4, 6, 7) that receives spent nuclear fuel rods. Each tube (2, 4, 6, 7) has four sidewalls and four corners defining a rectangular cross section. The plurality of tubes (2, 4, 6, 7) is arranged in an alternating pattern. An attachment means attaches together the plurality of tubes (2, 4, 6, 7) at the corners so that two adjacent sidewalls (64, 66, 68, 70) of adjacent tubes (2, 4, 6, 7) are substantially aligned.
