|Spent fuel pool specifications|
In France, spent fuel is stored underwater, firstly near to the source reactors and subsequently in very large pools in La Hague, where fuel assemblies are centralised. The table contains basic specifications of these interim storage pools, their expected service life, the maximum heat released and the temperature and peak activity of the water. Pool water is filtered to trap radioactivity.
