    摘要: The invention concerns a depository for radioactive waste and spent fuel cells comprising a concrete storage block in which several vertical storage and cooling channels are provided for accommodating the radioactive waste and the fuel cells. In order to provide an improved and safer concrete depository vis-a-vis the state of the art, the storage block is composed of several concrete blocks disposed beside and above one another. In the concrete blocks there are several vertical channels. The aligned channels of several concrete blocks placed on top of one another form storage and cooling channels for accommodating tubular storage containers for the radioactive waste and radioactive spent fuel cells. An annular gap is left for cooling air between the outer wall of the storage containers and the inner wall of the storage and cooling channels.

    摘要: A nuclear facility includes a fuel element pool which is filled with a cooling liquid. A fuel element rack, which is disposed in the fuel element pool, includes compartments for receiving fuel elements. The fuel elements received in the compartments are in direct contact with the cooling liquid in the fuel element pool. At least one cooling element is disposed in one of the compartments instead of a fuel element. The cooling element acts as a heat exchanger through which a coolant can flow, the cooling element is connected into a cooling circuit and the cooling element is immersed in the cooling liquid.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for reclaiming energy from the heat emanating from spent nuclear fuel contained within a canister-based dry storage system. The inventive system and method provides continuous passive cooling of the loaded canisters by utilizing the chimney-effect and reclaims the energy from the air that is heated by the canisters. The inventive system and method, in one embodiment, is particularly suited to store the canisters below-grade, thereby utilizing the natural radiation shielding properties of the sub-grade while still facilitating passive air cooling of the canisters. In another embodiment, the invention focuses on a special arrangement of the spent nuclear fuel within the canisters so that spent nuclear fuel that is hotter than that which is typically allowed to be withdrawn from the spent fuel pools can be used in a dry-storage environment, thereby increasing the amount energy that can be reclaimed.
