On Leakage from the Near-surface Radioactive Waste Storage Facility

Maisiagala RADON type radioactive waste storage facility was commissioned in 1963 in a marshy, ecologically sensitive locality, where soluble radionuclides easily can penetrate and migrate with groundwater. To assure the requirements of radiation safety, the analysis of radionuclide leakage from the radioactive waste storage facility is performed continuously. H (tritium, T1/2=12.33 years) is o...

POD Evaluation of NDE Techniques for Canister-Components for Risk Assessment of Nuclear Waste Encapsulation

In order to handle long living radioactive waste Sweden is planning to build a deep repository that requires no monitoring by future generations. The spent nuclear fuel will be encapsulated in copper canisters consisting of a graphite cast iron insert shielded by an outer 30-50 mm thick copper cylinder for corrosion protection. A subpart of the final risk assessment is to determine the risk of ...

Site Selection Criteria for Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility

The Government of India has promulgated the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules (HW (M&H)) in 1989 through the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF) under the aegis of Environment (Protection) Act [E(P) Act], 1986. Also in order to encourage the effective implementation of these rules, the MOEF has further brought out the Guidelines for HW (M & H) in 1991. However, case studies r...

Thermochemical Models for Nuclear Waste Glass Subsystems

A relatively simple model, the associate species model, is being applied to nuclear waste glass compositions in order to accurately predict behavior and thermodynamic activities in the material. In the model, the glass is treated as a supercooled liquid, with the liquid species allowed to exist below their melting point. The approach requires an initial assembly of binary and ternary oxide liqu...
