“…The authors used the CFD code FLUENT [123] to perform 3D simulations of the HI-STORM 100s cask behavior in normal dry storage conditions. Then, the obtained results have been used by Feria et al [140] to derive a correlation allowing to calculate the peak cladding temperature as a function of burnup and out-of-pile time. The burnup calculations used to derive the correlation have been done with the code ORIGEN [42] .…”

The role of dry storage in spent nuclear fuel management becomes more and more important. Originally intended to serve as a temporary solution for a few decades until final disposal, now dry storage period is to be extended to 100 years and beyond. It has to be proven for licensing that the fuel rod integrity during dry storage is ensured. Since it is difficult to provide experimental support, the licensing process has to rely largely on numerical simulations. This paper reviews the literature associated with the modeling of spent nuclear fuel under dry storage conditions. The main phenomena threatening the fuel rod integrity and the numerical models representing them are described here. Moreover, the most recent or currently ongoing experimental efforts that could support the modeling of nuclear fuel in dry storage in the future are discussed. Finally, this paper reviews approaches to dry storage modeling chosen by different countries. In general, these approaches are similar and can be described as a calculation chain consisting of neutronics-thermo-hydraulics-fuel performance computations where sensitivity and uncertainty studies are crucial elements.

The management of spent fuel has always been one of the challenges in the nuclear power operation and generation. In some of the nuclear power plants in operation, the available space in the spent fuel pool it is reaching the limit, therefore spent fuel needs to be stored using dry storage options.As a frequent dry storage option, the nuclear spent fuel casks can be highlighted. Numerous nuclear power plants both in the world and in Spain already have independent spent fuel storage installations, where the spent fuel casks are stored. These installations are considered absolutely necessary both for the continuity of the nuclear power plants once they have reached their spent fuel pool capacity, and during the decommissioning phase.
