Abstract
A new ET-RR-1 spent fuel storage pool is now under construction on the reactor site at
Inshass. In addition, the pool is designed to accommodate spent fuel of MTR type as well.
Criticality safety of this pool for the dierent fuel types has been evaluated as a function of
U235 loading. The eect of fuel element separation (rows and columns) on the eigenvalue has
been studied. As a conservative assumption, the pool is assumed to be ®lled with fresh fuel.
The eigenvalue considering a realistic degree of fuel burn-up was determined in order to
determine the safety margin. The calculations have been carried out using the code packages
of the National Center for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Control
