| Summary: | Dry storage systems are one of the storage methods for spent nuclear fuel used in many countries that operate nuclear power plants. To ensure the safe storage of spent nuclear fuel, dry storage systems are designed to maintain radiation shielding, thermal management, and subcritical and mechanical integrity. In addition, these systems must be able to withstand earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, extreme temperatures, and other operating and design-based accident conditions. In order to develop a model with safety and economic feasibility by analyzing various dry storage systems, a vertically dry storage module was proposed, and evaluations were performed on safety evaluation along with design requirements. As a result of the evaluation, all of the safety design requirements were met. This evaluation’s results can be used as basic data for the detailed design of the dry storage module to proceed with further research, including the preparation of a safety analysis report and experimental verification for licensing applications.
