To develop a procedure for handling the AMB SNF at the Beloyarsk NPP and to justify safety of the SNF
preparation for the shipment to a reprocessing plant, Sosny experts participated in the following studies:
▫ condition and corrosion behavior of the AMB SNF including determination of the composition,
quantity and activity of the corrosion products on the SFA storage tubes, determination of the rate of
radionuclide deflation from the tube surfaces, and sizing of the SNF corrosion products;
▫ grain-size distribution in filings and FP release into water during AMB SNF cutting operation,
▫ FP release into the environment from the water and dried surfaces.
The method for SNF drying and fire and explosion safety of the dried SNF during storage
