Standard Guide for Drying Behavior of Spent Nuclear Fuel
1.1 This guide discusses three steps in preparing spent nuclear fuel (SNF) for placement in a sealed dry storage system: (1) evaluating the needs for drying the SNF after removal from a water storage pool and prior to placement in dry storage, (2) drying the SNF, and (3) demonstrating that adequate dryness has been achieved.
1.2 This standard only discusses SNF drying and does not purport to address all of the handling and safety concerns, if any, associated with the drying process(es). It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to meet regulatory requirements prior to and during use of the standard.
