Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transfer cask for transferring spent nuclear fuel. The transfer cask transfers a canister storing the spent nuclear fuel and includes a transfer container having a space for accommodating the canister; a neutron shielding body arranged on an outer periphery of the transfer container to shield neutrons; and an opening/closing portion that is coupled to a lower portion of the transfer container and opens and closes the lower portion of the transfer container, wherein the opening and closing portion, a support portion supporting the transfer container and having a first through hole in communication with the transfer container; a lid assembly having a first lid portion and a second lid portion that open and close the first through hole; and a base plate on which the support portion is seated and a second through hole through which the canister is drawn out is formed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sliding type transfer cask for transferring spent nuclear fuel. The sliding type transfer cask includes a transfer container having a space for accommodating a canister; a neutron shielding body disposed around an outer circumference; and an opening/closing portion coupled to a lower portion of the transfer container. The opening/closing portion includes a support portion that has a first through-hole communicating with the transfer container and supports the transfer container; a base plate that is arranged below the support portion; and a lid assembly that includes a first lid portion and a second lid portion. The first lid portion includes a first lid and a first motor for sliding the first lid. The second lid portion includes a second lid and a second motor for sliding the second lid.

Abstract: The modular lower moving system for nuclear fuel handling includes: a lower reactor vessel assembly including nuclear fuel loaded therein; a carrier having a space allowing the lower reactor vessel assembly to be accommodated therein; a rail extending from a reactor area to a fuel handling area; a transfer cart horizontally movable along the rail; a lifting device installed at the transfer cart, movable upward or downward with respect to the transfer cart; and a drive device configured to supply power to the transfer cart and the lifting device. The method of refueling nuclear fuel using the modular lower moving system includes a carrier lifting process, a lower reactor vessel assembly detachment process, a process of accommodating the lower reactor vessel assembly in the carrier, a carrier lowering process, a transfer cart movement process, a nuclear fuel offloading process, and a nuclear fuel loading process.
