SMR/AMR: Designing fuel handling and fuel storage equipment systems
Ensure the reliability of fuel handling and fuel storage operations.
1
Challenges
Design equipment suitable for handling
a variety of fuel elements
Ensure criticality safety
of handling fuel elements
Provide secure handling
of fuel elements to prevent drops and collisions
Provide reliable thermal management
of spent fuel
Ensure structural integrity of fresh
or
spent fuel storage
under normal operations and in case of accidents
