Abstract
With the rapid growth of China’s nuclear power scale, in order to meet the future demand for spent fuel transport, relying on a single road transport mode is far from meeting the transport demand. It is necessary to build a spent fuel multimodal transport system to carry out large-scale spent fuel transport. As a special means of transport for sea transport in spent fuel multimodal transport, China’s first spent fuel transport ship is completely independently designed by China, has passed the empty ship trial voyage, and has also achieved good practice in actual transport. Based on the design requirements of domestic and international laws and regulations for the spent fuel transport ship, and combined with the actual situation of the wharf of domestic nuclear power plant, this paper interprets and analyzes the design ideas of the ship type size, loading layout scheme and safety system of the first spent fuel transport ship in China, in order to provide technical reference for the design and improvement of the spent fuel transport ship in the future.
