1.3.1.4 Fuel Storage Pond<br />

The fuel storage pool (SFP) serves <strong>for</strong> storage <strong>of</strong> spent fuel (until the residual heat reaches<br />

permissible level). The capacity <strong>of</strong> the SFP is 612 FAs and it ensures storage <strong>of</strong> the spent FAs <strong>for</strong> at<br />

least three years (section 9 <strong>of</strong> [7],[8]). It is provided with tight fuel storage and consists <strong>of</strong> 4 parts –<br />

three sections designed directly <strong>for</strong> storage <strong>of</strong> spent fuel assemblies and universal slot <strong>for</strong> fresh and<br />

spent fuel handling. The universal slot is used <strong>for</strong> both transport container <strong>for</strong> spent fuel and<br />

containers with fresh fuel and with hermetic casks. The transport containers loading zone is<br />

separated from the spent fuel assemblies storage zone, so that in case <strong>of</strong> dropping a container, fuel<br />

elements are not damaged or the boron solution level over the assemblies is not reduced.<br />

The fencing structures <strong>of</strong> SFP are designed to retain cooling boron solution (that may contain<br />

radioactive products) as well as to mitigate ionizing irradiation. They present rein<strong>for</strong>ced concrete<br />

walls with double metal hermetic lining with potential leak control drainages.<br />

1.3.2 Systems Ensuring or Supporting the Fundamental Safety Functions<br />

In the design <strong>of</strong> safety related systems and equipment design solutions are used, based on the<br />

passive principle <strong>of</strong> operation. Safe failure principle and inherent self protection properties (selfcontrol,<br />

thermal inertia, reactivity feedback and natural coolant circulation) and other natural<br />

processes are underlain in the design.<br />
