Safety Assessment of OPG's Used Fuel Dry Storage Facilities

Abstract

Safety assessments of OPG's used fuel dry storage facilities and the associated systems and operations are required to support requests for regulatory approvals to construct and operate those facilities. This paper describes the key methodology and assumptions associated with normal operation and with malfunctions and accident conditions used to perform those safety assessments. A summary of the results obtained from the safety assessment of the Darlington Used Fuel Dry Storage Facility is also provided.
