WHF and RF Thermal Evaluation

WHF and RF Thermal Evaluation

Author(s)
Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC
Publication Date
The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the peak fuel assembly cladding temperature within the transportation casks that will be received in the WHF and RF, and to compare this value with established temperature limits. Thermally limiting scenarios are evaluated for both normal and off-normal operating conditions, with the off-normal condition defined as a loss of active ventilation. A second purpose of this analysis is to identify a specific room in the surface facilities as thermally limiting of all the rooms, with respect to the potentially highest temperatures on the concrete walls.

Postclosure Analysis of the Range of Design Thermal Loadings

Postclosure Analysis of the Range of Design Thermal Loadings

Publication Date

This report presents a two-phased approach to develop and analyze a “thermal envelope” to represent the postclosure response of the repository to the anticipated range of repository design thermal loadings. In Phase 1 an estimated limiting waste stream (ELWS) is identified and analyzed to determine the extremes of average and local thermal loading conditions. The coldest thermal loading condition is represented by an emplacement drift loaded exclusively with high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and/or defense spent nuclear fuel (DSNF).

United Arab Emirates, First National Report on Compliance with the Obligations of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management

Author
United Arab Emirates
Publication Date

A.1 This is the United Arab Emirates (UAE) first national report on compliance with the obligations of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management (the Joint Convention). The UAE deposited its instrument of accession to the Joint Convention on 31 July 2009 and under Article (40) the Joint Convention entered into force for the UAE 90 days later on 29 October 2009. A.2 The report describes the basic policy and legal framework being established by the UAE for spent fuel management and radioactive waste management.
