The buffer store accepts freshly discharged fuel assemblies whilst their fission product heat generation decays to a rate compatible with the cooling arrangements at the irradiated fuel disposal facility (IFDF). It consists of a number of water-cooled pressure tubes, known as buffer tubes, within which the fuel assemblies are placed and cooled by the natural convection of heat to the pressure tube walls by pressurised carbon dioxide.
Only eight buffer tubes were provided initially at Hinkley Point В but a further 14 were subsequently added. The decision to extend the facility resulted from operational experience of part load batch refuelling which had not been originally envisaged as a normal operational route. At Heysham 2, the fuel route was designed from the outset to permit a 28 day cooling period for all fuel assemblies prior to transfer to the irradiated fuel disposal facility, as a means of easing the duty on the cooling system for that cell. In consequence, the buffer store at Heysham 2 contains 32 buffer tubes.
