Thermal analysis for determination for maximum pool temperatures for the K East and K West spent fuel storage basins

摘要

Models of pool temperature behavior in the 105 K East and K West fuel storage basins were proposed. These models were coded in FORTRAN and benchmarked with observations made from 1990 to 1992. Ninety-eight percent, or more, of variation in the observations were explained by the models. The models were then used to predict thermal behavior of the fuel storage pools under hypothetical worst-case scenarios.
