Abstract
The opportunity to generate thermoelectric power from a temperature gap in nuclear waste is proposed and investigated. Models are developed in order to estimate the parietal temperature and also temperature within the core of the packages. Heat fluxes going through the thermoelements are then determined. Formulation with thermal resistances is used to model the heat transfer. The aim is to optimize the efficiency of such a device provided with thermoelements and eventually with fins and to have a rough estimation of the energy available and the electricity recovered.
