The design of nuclear fuel storage and handling area includes the activities related to the storage and inspection before fuel loading, transfer into the reactor, removal of irradiated fuel to the spent fuel storage rack, underwater handling and storage, and handling into a shipping cask. The purpose of this study is to provide the design requirements for the spent fuel pool to be prevented from the loss of cooling water and for heavy load control to prevent any load drop resulting in damage to safetyrelated systems during heavy load handling in accordance with the regulatory guidelines. And another purpose is to review the sizing of minimum wet storage capacity in the spent fuel pool based on the maximum refueling batch from the core during refueling plus a full core off-load of fuel assemblies and the minimum discharge burnup spent fuel storage during the design life of plant requested by the utility. As the results of this study, the current general arrangement for the spent fuel storage and handling area and the minimum storage capacity are evaluated. These can be good recommendations to enhance more safe and efficient if implemented to the new nuclear power plants.
