Considering the unique operation of each nuclear power plant and lack of BWR fuel examination data after dry storage, the Taiwan Power Company and Institute of Nuclear Energy Research conduct the “The Nuclear Fuel Storage Demonstration Project in Taiwan” to collect the data of the fuel characteristics under dry storage. In this project, BWR fuel rods among different fuel designs and fuel venders will be loaded into a simulated storage cask for 10 years. Different temperatures and environments will be adopted, for simulated normal storage condition and acceleration experiments be performed. Non-destructed examinations will be executed prior to loading the fuel rods and periodically during storage. After 10 years, the fuel rods will be extracted and examined non-destructively and destructively. This paper summarized the methodology to demonstrate the adequacy of spent fuel dry storage, the design and fabrication of the simulated storage containers, the results of performance test and the project progress. Two containers will be used in the prospective experiments; one is for the normal storage condition. The other is for accelerated experiments and various storage conditions. After completion of this project, the collected data and research results will be compared with other international projects to provide the technical basis in Taiwan.
