This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
Extended wet storage
We wish to improve our understanding of the wet storage of spent fuel under extended timescales, for example, AGR Spent Fuel behaviour after greater than 25 years of wet storage. We are also interested in technologies or techniques that would improve how we:
monitor spent fuel and the storage pond environment during storage to provide us with earlier warning of any deviation from expectations; and
maintain the spent fuel and the storage pond environment (pond water treatment).
