Ultrasonic Investigations on Copper Canister Welds in Preparation for the Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel in a Deep Repository
Abstract. The Swedish KBS-3 design for the disposal of spent fuel is based on its encapsulation cast iron cylinders that have an outer 30 – 50 mm thick shield of copper and deposition in crystalline rock embedded in bentonite at a depth of about 500 m. The KBS-3 system is based on a multi barrier system where the canister is the primary barrier. The cast iron insert gives the canister the neces...
متن کاملAnalysis of radionuclide release through EBS of conceptual repository for Lithuanian RBMK spent nuclear fuel disposal – case of canister with initial defect
At the Ignalina nuclear power plant (NPP), app. 22 thousands of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies from the RBMK-1500 type reactor have been accumulated [15]. During the operation of Ignalina NPP, the assemblies of SNF were stored in water pools and in storage containers, located in the interim storage facilities. According to revised Lithuanian Strategy for Management of Radioactive Waste [20...
متن کاملGeological Disposal Feasibility studies exploring options for storage, transport and disposal of spent fuel from potential new nuclear power stations
This report is made available under the NDA Transparency Policy. In line with this policy, the NDA is seeking to make information on its activities readily available, and to enable interested parties to have access to and influence on its future programmes. The report may be freely used for non-commercial purposes. However as these studies were undertaken under contract to the Nuclear Industry ...
متن کاملMinimizing the Repository Volume for Spent Nuclear Fuel
When minimizing the size of the spent nuclear fuel repository, two parameters are important: the required total number of canisters and distance between neighbouring canisters (the canister array pitch). If the latter is kept fixed, the Canister Filling Problem arises. On the other hand, if the former is assumed minimal, we come across the Alternative Canister Filling Problem. Both problems are...
متن کاملThe Construction and Operation of Geological Disposal Facilities for High-level Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel
A key challenge over the next decade for some national programmes and an important learning opportunity for many others will be the construction and operation of the first deep geological repositories for High Level Waste (HLW) and Spent Fuel (SF). As the orientation of work on disposal shifts from mainly research, development and demonstration to industrial implementation, waste management age...
