Due to the low nominal power and short operation cycles, the research reactors RA-1 (40 kW) at Centro Atomico Constituyentes in Buenos Aires and RA-6 (500 kW) at Centro Atomico Bariloche in San Carlos de Bariloche do not generate spent fuel. Nevertheless, both installations have a facility to store all the fuel of the reactor core. In RA-1 the irradiated fuel is dry stored in 24 underground concrete tubes located inside the reactor building, and in RA-6 a separate decay pool, physically independent of the reactor pool but located inside the reactor building, is used for wet storage of the fuel assemblies. Figure 2 shows the decay pool of RA-6.
