Abstract: With the rapid development of nuclear power in China, the pressure of spent fuel storage increases gradually. The demand of spent fuel transportation grows rapidly. Presently, all coastal nuclear power plonts have their own docks, but the special demand of spent fuel transportation has not been properly considered. Most docks do not have the conditions for transporting spent fuel. Based on the existing technical conditions of nuclear power’ docks and combined with the experience of the docks that have already been renovated, this article proposes the technical and management conditions that could meet the requirements of spent fuel packages transportation. This research will provide reference for the construction, renovation, and expansion of other nuclear power plant docks in the future.

Key words: spent fuel, dock, standardization
