Abstract
In 2003 CRIEPI successfully concluded a four-year study program of demonstrative tests for the interim storage of spent fuel that is mainly related to concrete cask storage technology. The program was aimed at the creation of away-from-reactor dry storage by 2010. A concrete-cask storage system is considered to have an economic advantage. The acknowledgements obtained in these tests reflected Japanese safety guidelines for concrete casks issued by METI/NISA (Ministry of Economy and Trade Industry/Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency) in June 2004. This paper introduces the qualification test of concrete cask performance of spent fuel storage technology executed in CRIEPI.
