Sažetak
Using the SCALE-4 code package we have analyzed consolidation possibilities of the NPP Krško spent fuel pool. We considered an approach to capacity increase of the NPP Krško spent fuel pool in which additional racks with consolidated fuel have to be designed and installed in the free space of the spent fuel pool. Two case were analyzed: the first case assuming that old fuel (fuel that is already in the spent fuel pool) would be consolidated and the second case assuming that new fuel (fuel that will be used in the future) would be consolidated. We have showed that it is possible to design the additional canisters (with consolidated fuel) in free space of the spent fuel pool with the sufficient total capacity to store all the spent fuel generated during the 40 years lifetime of the plant.
