Innovative Waste Treatment and Conditioning Technologies at Nuclear Power Plants
Author: International Atomic Energy AgencyPublisher: IAEA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This publication examines innovative technologies and strategies used in radioactive waste treatment and conditioning at nuclear power plants, or which have important potential for use as part of the long range strategy, focusing on low and intermediate level wastes (LILW) for water cooled reactors. Aspects discussed include: applicable waste streams, benefits and impacts of each technology, current applications within the nuclear field, and non-technical approaches.
Characterization, Treatment and Conditioning of Radioactive Graphite from Decommissioning of Nuclear Reactors
Author: International Atomic Energy AgencyPublisher: IAEA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Graphite has been used as a moderator and reflector of neutrons in more than 100nuclear power plants and in many research and plutonium-production reactors. It is usedprimarily as a neutron reflector or neutron moderator, although graphite is also used for other features of reactor cores, such as fuel sleeves. Many of the graphite-moderated reactors are now quite old, with some already shutdown. Therefore radioactive graphite dismantling and the management of radioactive graphite waste are becoming an increasingly important issue for a number of IAEA Member States. This report provides a comprehensive discussion of radioactive graphite waste characterization, handling, conditioning and disposal throughout the operating and decommissioning life cycle.
Processing of Irradiated Graphite to Meet Acceptance Criteria for Waste Disposal
Author: International Atomic Energy AgencyPublisher: IAEA Tecdoc Series No. 1790
ISBN: 9789201040169
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Graphite is widely used in the nuclear industry and in research facilities and this has led to increasing amounts of irradiated graphite residing in temporary storage facilities pending disposal. This publication arises from a coordinated research project (CRP) on the processing of irradiated graphite to meet acceptance criteria for waste disposal.
Retrieval and Conditioning of Solid Radioactive Waste from Old Facilities
Author: International Atomic Energy AgencyPublisher: IAEA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This report provides information and discussion on planning, methodologies and technologies for retrieval and reconditioning of radioactive wastes recovered from old, inadequate disposal or storage facilities. The objective of such projects is to improve waste safety and security in accordance with modern requirements. Selected international experiences in waste retrieval and recovery projects are included. The report serves as a guide for storage and disposal facility personnel responsible for the organization and implementation of waste retrieval and reconditioning projects to optimize planning, selection and use of available and applicable technologies and resources.--Publisher's description.

Costing Methods and Funding Schemes for Radioactive Waste Disposal Programmes
Author: IAEAPublisher: International Atomic Energy Agency
ISBN: 9201118201
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Reliable methods for estimating the cost of a radioactive waste disposal programme are crucial to ensure that the necessary funding for completing the disposal programme is available. Estimating the cost for disposal is, however, a challenging and complex task. Disposal programmes themselves are complex and long term undertakings, and conditions can be expected to change significantly over the time span during which a disposal programme is developed and implemented. This publication provides Member States with information on developing cost estimates for a disposal programme and establishing funding mechanisms. It will help readers in becoming informed clients by familiarizing themselves with the approaches and complexities in cost estimates and funding mechanisms for disposal. The publication is applicable to all waste categories and both near surface and geological disposal. It contains relevant examples and case studies from national programmes. The cost figures are intended to give an indication of the possible cost of certain parts or aspects of the disposal programme rather than to compare different disposal programmesÂ’ costs.
