Uncertainty quantification of thermal gap widths on internal temperatures in the TN-32B HBU demo cask

M Higley, M Greiner, M Hadj-Nacer - Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2024 - Elsevier
The temperatures of internal components within spent nuclear fuel (SNF) packages must be
predicted to ensure they remain within specified limits. These packages have multiple …

Effect of basket/rail gap on temperature prediction in the TN-32 cask under storage and drying conditions

M Higley, M Hadj-Nacer, M Greiner - Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper investigates the effect of the variation in the gap width between the basket and
rails on predicted temperatures in the TN-32 dry storage cask. Two-dimensional (2D) cross …

Thermal Behavior of the TN-32B Spent Nuclear Fuel Cask Under Storage and Vacuum Drying Conditions

M Higley - 2024 - search.proquest.com
In this work, computational models are developed to predict the temperatures in a spent fuel
cask under storage and vacuum drying conditions. In particular, the TN-32 spent nuclear fuel …
