3、uary 27, 2018 by the American National Standards Institute, Inc. American National Standard ANSI/ANS-57.3-2018 American National Standard Designation of this document as an American National Standard attests that the principles of openness and due process have been followed in the approval procedure
4、 and that a consensus of those directly and materially affected by the standard has been achieved. This standard was developed under the procedures of the Standards Committee of the American Nuclear Society; these procedures are accredited by the American National Standards Institute, Inc., as meeti
5、ng the criteria for American National Standards. The consensus committee that approved the standard was balanced to ensure that competent, concerned, and varied interests have had an opportunity to participate. An American National Standard is intended to aid industry, consumers, governmental agenci
6、es, and general interest groups. Its use is entirely voluntary. The existence of an American National Standard, in and of itself, does not preclude anyone from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standard. By publication of this sta
7、ndard, the American Nuclear Society does not insure anyone utilizing the standard against liability allegedly arising from or after its use. The content of this standard reflects acceptable practice at the time of its approval and publication. Changes, if any, occurring through developments in the s
8、tate of the art, may be considered at the time that the standard is subjected to periodic review. It may be reaffirmed, revised, or withdrawn at any time in accordance with established procedures. Users of this standard are cautioned to determine the validity of copies in their possession and to est
9、ablish that they are of the latest issue. The American Nuclear Society accepts no responsibility for interpretations of this standard made by any individual or by any ad hoc group of individuals. Inquiries about requirements, recommendations, and/or permissive statements (i.e., “shall,” “should,” an
10、d “may,” respectively) should be sent to the Scientific Publications and Standards Department at Society Headquarters. Action will be taken to provide appropriate response in accordance with established procedures that ensure consensus. Comments on this standard are encouraged and should be sent to

19、18, but is included for informational purposes.) This standard establishes minimum design requirements for the designer of new fuel dry storage facilities at water-cooled nuclear power plants. It provides general guidelines and specific design parameters that could assist in both the design and lice
20、nsing efforts if used. However, the designer is not relieved of the responsibility for complying with specific construction codes referenced herein. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations and guidance exist that contain information useful in designing systems and components. This standard wa
21、s developed under sponsorship of the American Nuclear Society and was first approved in 1983. In this revision, there have been some significant changes and some reorganization. Of note are simplification of the sections on seismic events and criticality. A new section on quality assurance was added
22、. Also, this standard was revised to address only dry storage of new fuel. Storage of new fuel in a spent fuel pool (wet storage) is covered by ANS-57.2. This standard was prepared by the ANS-57.3 Working Group of the American Nuclear Society Standards Committee. The ANS-57.3 Working Group had the f
