22 6. Conclusions - When the water level of reactor pool is maintained not loosing to exceed 100cm, the gamma dose caused by HEU FAs does not effect employees working in reactor hall. - In principle, the longer cooling time the higher of safety, to avoid risk to employees fuel unloading for core conversion should be conducted after shutting down reactor 2 weeks. - Critical calculations show that with the configurations when storing HEU spent FAs, the risk to get criticality is impossible to happen.
