Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel: An Assessment of Technologies and Challenges
Abstract: Spent fuel discharged from nuclear reactors must necessarily be handled further, whether or not a closed fuel cycle is adopted by a nation. Thus every nuclear facility must have provisions of spent fuel storage to cool it sufficiently and to allow its radioactivity to decrease substantially before reprocessing or before its ultimate disposal. With increasing importance of nuclear power in the days to come, it will become necessary to handle …

Numerical Model for Water Hammer in Homogeneous Equilibrium Two Phase Fluid
Abstract: Generally, water hammer can occur in any thermal-hydraulic systems. Rapid closing or opening of a valve causes pressure transients due to the sudden transformation of kinetic energy into the potential energy. The resulting high pressure surge upstream of the valve leads to the temporary increase in pressure. If the increased pressure surpasses the safety margin for the pipe, it can lead to failure of the pipeline. A mathematical model is …
