Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage
One of the key activities of ŠKODA JS is manufacture of equipment for spent nuclear fuel management.
Once it has been removed from the reactor, spent fuel must be first safely stored in a spent fuel storage pool and then later on in a so-called interim storage facility. The first group of technology includes compact storage racks, which serve for short-term “wet” storage of spent nuclear fuel for a period of 5-7 years. The second group includes transport and storage casks, which serve for medium-term “dry” storage of spent fuel for a period of several tens of years.
ŠKODA JS has more than twenty-year experience in design, manufacture and assembly of the equipment, which has been supplied to different customers not only in Europe but also in the USA and Southeast Asia.
