Problems and Experience in Guaranteeing the Nuclear Safety of the Storage of Spent Fuel from Nuclear Power Plants

Nuclear-safety problems are examined and the results of investigations of nuclear safety of storage sites are presented for spent nuclear fuel from nuclear power plants. The initial events of anticipated and unanticipated accidents, methods and errors in the calculation of keff taking account of burnup to ensure nuclear safety, the possibility of measuring keff of storage sites experimentally, and new forms of fuel with a consummable absorber are calculated.
