Current State

The article considers current state of safety of nuclear power engineering. It presents a brief summary of stress-tests at nuclear power plants in the European Union and Russia. It reveals that the power on breeders shall not develop due to its low efficiency, high expenses and the risk of propagation of nuclear materials. Moreover, construction of plutonium processing production operations on nuclear power plant platforms with breeders, production of mixed uranium-plutonium nuclear fuel and synthesis ofamericium-241 in the spent nuclear fuel calls ecological safety into question. The article also addresses conceptual issues of creation of environmentally friendly nuclear power on the basis of nuclear relativistic technology. It is shown that such power shall not produce "bomb" materials and, therefore, will find extensive application around the world. Thereby the most challenging international problems of the present will be solved. The new nuclear power can become a basis for hydrogen production, which might solve practically all problems of mankind, including even food, by means of nuclear energy.

According to regulatory requirements, when carrying out handling operations with spent nuclear fuel (SNF), prevention of damage to the spent fuel assemblies (SFA) and especially fuel elements shall be ensured. For this purpose, it is necessary to exclude the risk of SFA falling, SFA uncontrolled displacements, prevent mechanical influences on SFA, at which their damage is possible. Special requirements for handling equipment (in particular, cranes) to exclude these dangerous events, the requirements for equipment strength, resistance to external impacts, reliability, equipment design solutions, manufacturing quality are analyzed in this work. The requirements of Ukrainian and U.S. regulatory documents also are considered. The implementation of these requirements is considered on the example of handling equipment, in particular, spent nuclear fuel storage facilities. This issue is important in view of creation of new SNF storage facilities in Ukraine. These facilities include the storage facility (SFSF) for SNF from water moderated power reactors (WWER): a Сentralized SFSF for storing SNF of Rivne, Khmelnitsky and South-Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants (СSFSF), and SFSF for SNF from high-power channel reactors (RBMK): a dry type SFSF at Chornobyl nuclear power plant (ISF-2). After commissioning of these storage facilities, all spent nuclear fuel from Ukrainian nuclear power plants will be placed for long-term “dry” storage. The safety of handling operations with SNF during its preparation for long-term storage is an important factor.
