Abstract

See full text

A method for treating neutrons generated from spent nuclear fuel is provided, which includes a step of injecting neutron absorption material into the spent nuclear fuel storage water in which cooling function is lost. Accordingly, as the neutron absorption material in the form of particles is injected into a spent nuclear storage pool missing cooling function and deposited on the surface of the spent nuclear fuel, the possibility reaching nuclear criticality is reduced since the neutrons generated from spent nuclear fuel are absorbed. Also, immediate neutron absorbing power is provided upon refilling the pool water into the spent nuclear fuel storage pool in which pool water is depleted.
