        As if the wet storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) becomes saturated, a transition from wet storage to dry storage could be required. The first process for dry storage is to move SNF from the wet storage into a canister for dry storage, and secondly perform a drying process to remove the moisture in the canister to prevent a potential impact such as deterioration of cladding or corrosion of the interior material. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) accepts the conditions describing the adequate dryness state that remain below the pressure of 3 Torr for 30 minutes in the drying process. That is, the most pressure of water vapor that may exist inside the canister is 3 Torr. If it is maintained below 3 Torr, it can be determined that the dryness criterion is satisfied. Based on this, relative humidity and dew point trends can be identified. Relative Humidity (RH) is calculated by dividing the vapor pressure by the saturated vapor pressure. Here, if the vapor pressure is fixed at 3 Torr, which is the dryness criterion value, the relative humidity has a value according to the saturated vapor pressure. Saturated vapor pressure is a value that varies with temperature, so relative humidity varies with temperature. On the other hand, the dew point temperature has a value according to the water vapor pressure. Therefore, when the internal temperature of the canister is 120°C and the water vapor pressure is 3 Torr, the relative humidity is 0.2% and the dew point temperature is -4.4°C. We will confirm the suitability of the dryness criterion through the drying tests, and secure a technology that can measure and evaluate the amount of moisture remaining inside the canister.
