| Summary: | The technology of nuclear waste processing and management have been
developed since long ago. Nuclear waste is radioactive that it can not be directly
disposed to the environment. Thus, a certain container is needed. This container not
only to contain but also distribute heat from radioactive decay.
In this research, analysis of PCMSR waste management by using passive
cooling system at the waste storage container was conducted. This system can still
work without the presence of electricity to water circulate cooling water. To
optimize the cooling process, the height of chimney was varied, then a condenser
was employed.
The results show that the ideal height of chimney was 6 m with -103 kPa of
pressure drop in both riser and downcormer, in the generation of heat between
442.76 and 263.80 kW/m3. Compressing salt occurred with the thickness from0.005 to 0.0248 m with a density of heat between 4960 and 295 kW/m3. The right condenser length to produce optimum condensation at 5.62 m.
