Abstract:
The present invention relates to a drying apparatus for drying a canister configured to transport and store spent nuclear fuels, a control method thereof, and a radiation shielding geometry for a radiation dosimeter configured to measure a radiation dose rate. An object of the present invention is to prevent a drying apparatus from being contaminated even in case of a damaged canister loaded with a spent nuclear fuel, by providing a non-contaminated circulation system and a contaminated circulation system, to easily assemble the drying apparatus to have a proper thickness depending upon a radiation dose rate, and to prevent a facility pipeline from being under stress by providing a radiation shielding geometry for a radiation dosimeter for measuring a radiation dose rate.
