This standard provides design criteria for the process of consolidating light water reactor spent nuclear fuel in either a wet or dry environment. The process utilizes the equipment and systems used to perform consolidation, handle fuel rods and nonfuel-bearing components as well as handle broken fuel rods. This standard also contains requirements for facility or installation interfaces, nuclear safety, structural design, thermal design, accountability, safeguards, decommissioning, and quality assurance. The standard is not concerned with the storage of the spent fuel either before or after the consolidation process.

ANS 57.3-2018 defines the required functions of dry storage facilities for new fuel at light water reactor nuclear power plants. It provides minimum design requirements for safe storage of new nuclear fuel and control components at such plants. The fuel storage facilities covered by this standard are used for receiving, inspecting, and storing fuel containing new and recycled uranium and mixed oxides. The basis of this standard is to ensure that the design of the facility will be performed in an efficient and economical manner to (a) preclude criticality; (b) ensure protection of new fuel assemblies, control components, plant personnel, and the public; and (c) maintain radiation exposures As Low As Reasonably Achievable. Storage of new fuel assemblies in a spent fuel pool is covered in ANS-57.2-1983 (withdrawn).

This standard provides design criteria for systems and equipment of a facility for the receipt and storage of spent fuel from light water reactors. It contains requirements for the design of major buildings and structures recommendations for spent fuel storage racks, special equipment and area layout configurations, the pool structure and its integrity, pool water cleanup, ventilation, residual heat removal, radiation monitoring, fuel handling equipment, cask handling equipment, prevention of criticality, radwaste control and monitoring systems, quality assurance requirements, materials accountability, and physical security.
