W. Botzem, P. Arntzen, R. Diersch

Abstract

Dry storage of spent fuel from VVER type reactors is described with regard to te requirements specified in te Federal Republic of Germany. The different points explained demonstrate that a cask-dry storage offers a safe and economical concept, adaptable to the respective needs, for the long-term interim storage of radioactive materials.
