– Spent
nuclear fuel management is one of the most important and critical
issues for nuclear power plants in the world. Spent nuclear fuel is
stored for a long duration of time before the final disposal. Dry and
wet interim storage are the commonly used methods to store spent
nuclear fuel. Dry interim storage offers a flexible, safe, and
cost-effective approach to store spent nuclear fuel.
– Increase
in global demand for power, primarily in developing economies of Asia
Pacific and North America, is driving the need for construction of
nuclear power plants. Dry interim storage for spent nuclear fuel
needs dry cask to store and contain the radioactivity within itself.
Rise in construction of nuclear power plants around the globe has
created the demand for spent nuclear fuel facilities (SNF).

– About
one-third of fuel is removed or replenished in most of the nuclear
power reactors annually. The fresh nuclear fuel is added at each
cycle of refueling. The spent fuel recovered from the reactor is then
processed and finally placed into deep water pools located at the
reactor site to reduce its radiation and heat before cask storage.
Dry interim storage of the spent nuclear fuel can be carried out
through different methods.
– Commonly
followed methods for dry interim storage of SNF include metal cask,
vault, concrete module, and other dry storage methods such as
drywells and tunnels. Most technologies used for dry interim storage
of SNF are distinguished from each other in terms of their technical
characteristics such as degree of independence of the individual
storage units, type of shielding, heat transfer method, storage
location, storage structure, transportability, and type of geological
surface. Construction of dry interim storage facilities also differs
in terms of modularity, method of SNF handling, size, construction
material, storage containers layout, and configuration of SNF.
– Metal casks are generally
designed for transportation and storage. Some metal casks are meant
only for the storage of SNF. Shielding of radiations is primarily
provided by the structure of the cask and its material. Metal casks
for dry interim storage are made from forged steel, composite
materials, or cast iron. Dry interim storage casks are generally
stored in an upright vertical position installed on a concrete pad.
Dry interim metal casks are primarily used for interim storage of SNF
around the globe. Concrete interim storage casks are similar in shape
as compared to metal interim storage casks. A concrete interim
storage cask provides shielding effect from nuclear radiations. The
steel liner present in the inner canister cavity of the concrete
provides containment for the SNF.
– A typical interim concrete
storage cask is made of the following components: fuel basket,
transportable storage canister with welded bottom plate containment,
shield lid, two penetration port covers, and structural lid. The
concrete filler provides shielding, structural support, natural
convection cooling, and protection from environmental conditions
during long term storage of SNF. Other popular methods for dry
interim storage of SNF are silos, horizontal concrete module system,
vault, twin tunnel, and dry well.
– Twin tunnel dry interim
storage method is a highly employed subsurface storage method that
combines borehole type emplacement with the drywell concept within a
single geological disposal repository. This type of interim storage
method offers long term interim storage of SNF with an option of its
retrieval for reuse. Majority of the SNF is generally stored in water
pools. Only 30% of the SNF produced is stored in dry storage
facilities around the globe.
– Rise in demand for
uninterrupted and low-cost electricity across the globe is resulting
in the construction of nuclear power plants. This provides immense
potential for the dry interim storage market. Increase in demand for
power infrastructure in residential, commercial, and industrial
segments and rise in environmental concerns are driving the market
around the globe. The market for dry interim storage for SNF is
driven by factors such as increase in nuclear power plants, rise in
liquid and solid nuclear waste generation from existing nuclear
plants, and growth in health and safety concerns in various countries
around the globe. High investment in nuclear infrastructure and high
cost of cask material and concrete are the major restraints of the
dry interim storage market.
– Currently, North America and
Europe lead the global dry interim storage market for SNF. These
regions are followed by Asia Pacific owing to the aggressive
expansion of nuclear programs and infrastructure development in
China, India, and Japan. Technological growth in infrastructure
development and rapid economic growth in countries in Asia Pacific
are expected to provide immense opportunities to the global players
operating in the dry interim storage market for SNF. Prominent global
players that produce dry interim storage for SNF are Augean PLC, SRCL
Ltd., Bechtel Corporation, Areva SA, Fluor Corporation, and Holtec
International are the major players operating around the world.
Increase in investment for the improvement of power, led by the rise
in per capita GDP of countries in Southeast Asia, and commencement of
new nuclear power projects are anticipated to boost the demand for
dry interim storage for SNF across the globe.
