Abstract

The article describes the thermo-hydraulic analysis of a dry cask storage building that is used for the storage of depleted nuclear fuel to determine the viability of a buoyancy driven cooling system. The analysis is performed in the form of steady-state CFD simulations. The resulting temperature distributions are them evaluated based on required operation criteria.
