Sommario/riassunto

This guidebook provides comprehensive guidance on spent fuel storage options and systems, focusing on recent trends, operational



experiences, and evolving technologies. It addresses the challenges associated with spent fuel management, particularly in light of higher fuel burnup and extended storage timeframes. The book is intended to help Member States, especially those new to nuclear power, in making informed decisions regarding the sustainable management of spent fuel. It includes detailed discussions on wet and dry storage technologies, safety assessments, economic considerations, and future developments in storage solutions.
