1.5 Conclusion With respect to criticality the transport and stor age cask for spent fuel from research reactors for fuel EK-10 with 10 % enrichment of 235U in a square stainless steel sheath satisfies the requirement for subcriticality according to §7 of the SÚJB Decree No. 106/1998 Col.

keff = 0.460

The resulting value of keff was determined according to the formula indicated in Chapter 5.

This calculation is conservative with respect to the number of fuel rods in one sheath (calculated for the maximum possible number of rods).
