Multifaceted developments for pre-disposal management of low and intermediate level radioactive waste are undertaken in the EC funded project PREDIS. In work package 7, innovations in cemented waste handling and pre-disposal storage are advanced by testing and evaluating. To provide better means for safe and effective monitoring of cemented waste packages including prediction tools to assess the future integrity development during pre-disposal activities, several monitoring and digital tools are evaluated and improved. Both safety enhancement (e. g. less exposure of testing personnel) and cost effectiveness are part of the intended impact. Current methods to pack, store, and monitor cemented wastes are identified, analysed and improved. Innovative integrity testing and monitoring techniques applied to evaluate and demonstrate package and storage quality assurance are further developed. The work includes but is not limited to inspection methods such as muon imaging, wireless sensors integrated into waste packages as well as external package and facility monitoring such as remote fiber optical sensors. The sensors applied will go beyond radiation monitoring and include proxy parameters important for long term integrity assessment (e. g. internal pressure). The measured data will be used in digital twins of the packages for specific simulations (geochemical, integrity) providing a prediction of future behaviour. Machine Learning techniques trained by the characterization of older packages will help to connect the models to the actual data. As data handling, processing and fusion are crucial for both the monitoring and the digital twin model, all data (measured and simulated) will be collected in a joint data base and connected to a decision framework. Finally, the implementation of the improved techniques will be tested at actual facilities. An overview about various relevant tools, their interconnections, and first research results will be shown.
New materials and innovative monitoring for safe sealing structures in underground repositories
(2022)
Within the project SealWasteSafe, we advance construction materials and monitoring concepts of sealing structures applied for underground disposal of nuclear waste. As these engineered barriers have high demands concerning integrity, an innovative alkali-activated material (AAM) is improved and tested on various laboratory scales that is highly suitable for the application in salt as a host rock. This AAM has a low reaction kinetics related to a preferential slow release of the heat of reaction in comparison to alternative salt concretes based on Portland cement or magnesium oxychloride cements. Hence, crack formation due to thermally induced strain is reduced. A comprehensive multi-sensory monitoring scheme is developed and investigated to compare the setting process of AAM and salt concrete for manufactured specimens (100-300 l). The analysed parameters include temperature and humidity of the material, acoustic emissions, and strain variations recorded by fiber optic cables. Passive sensor systems based on radiofrequency identification technology (RFID) embedded in the concrete allow for wireless access and are compared to conventional cabled systems for temperature and humidity measurements. Furthermore, ultrasonic methods are used for quality assurance to detect obstacles, potential cracks and delamination. Field layout and applied imaging techniques are optimised to enhance the image quality. To characterise the inside of the test engineered barrier and achieve a proof-of-concept, an ultrasonic borehole probe is developed to allow for phased arrays that can further improve the detection of potential cracks. Modelling results and first analysis of half-spherical specimen prove the reliability of the directional response caused by the phased arrays of the newly constructed ultrasonic borehole probe. Overall, the project SealWasteSafe improves the construction material, multi-sensory monitoring concepts and ultrasonics for quality assurance. Particularly for salt as a host rock, this will help to develop safe sealing structures for nuclear waste disposal.
Verschlussbauwerke sind für die untertägige Endlagerung im Salzgestein als eine wichtige technische Barriere vorgesehen. Diese Bauwerke müssen hohen Anforderungen an Sicherheit und Integrität genügen, weshalb im Projekt SealWasteSafe Werkstofftechnik, Prüfverfahren und Überwachungsmethoden für sichere Verschlussbauwerke verbessert werden. Dabei zeigen die untersuchten alkaliaktivierten Materialien (AAM) langsamere Reaktionskinetik bei der Erhärtung im Vergleich zu Salzbeton, was potenziell geringere Rissbildung erwarten lässt. Die Erhärtung wird an Probekörpern (100-300 l) multisensorisch über einen Zeitraum von mindestens 28 Tagen überwacht. Die Parameter Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit werden einerseits kabelgebunden, andererseits mittels drahtloser Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-Technik aufgezeichnet. Zusätzlich kommen Schallemissionsmessungen sowie Dehnungsmessungen mittels verteilter faseroptischer Sensorik (FOS) zum Einsatz. Die Überwachung zeigt verschiedene Charakteristika beim Erhärten der Materialien mit geringerer Temperaturentwicklung des AAM. Zusätzlich werden Ultraschallmessungen genutzt, um Einbauteile und Störstellen wie Risse und Delaminationen im Rahmen der Qualitätssicherung am Probekörper und am Verschlussbauwerk zu detektieren. Dafür werden sowohl ein Ultraschallmesssystem mit großer Apertur (LAUS) als auch eine Ultraschall-Bohrlochsonde eingesetzt. Durch Erhöhung des Schalldrucks und Schallfeldbündelung im Beton wird die Aussagekraft der von der Bohrlochsonde aufgezeichneten Messsignale verbessert, was in Modellierungen und ersten Labortests gezeigt werden kann. Die Auswertung der Ultraschallmessungen zeigt das große Potenzial der Methode mit Eindringtiefen bis zu 9 m, wobei anspruchsvolle Abbildungsverfahren zu einer verbesserten Abbildung der internen Strukturen führen. Insgesamt verbessern die im Projekt SealWasteSafe entwickelten Materialien und Methoden die Möglichkeiten für sichere Verschlussbauwerke nuklearer Endlager. Obwohl die Konzepte speziell für Bauwerke im Salzgestein entwickelt werden, sind sie partiell gut auf andere Wirtsgesteine übertragbar.
To provide better means for a safe and effective monitoring of cemented waste packages including prediction tools to assess the future integrity development during pre-disposal activities, several digital tools are evaluated and improved in the frame of the EC funded project PREDIS. Safety enhancement (e. g. less exposure of testing personnel) and cost effectiveness are part of the intended impact. The work includes but is not limited to inspection methods such as muon imaging, wireless sensors integrated into waste packages as well as external package and facility monitoring such as remote fiber optical sensors. The sensors applied will go beyond radiation monitoring and include proxy parameters important for long term integrity assessment (e. g. internal pressure). Sensors will also be made cost effective to allow the installation of much more sensors compared to current practice. The measured data will be used in digital twins of the packages for specific simulations (geochemical, integrity) providing a prediction of future behavior. Machine Learning techniques trained by the characterization of older packages will help to connect the models to the actual data. All data (measured and simulated) will be collected in a joint data base and connected to a decision framework to be used at actual facilities. The paper includes detailed information about the various tools under consideration, their connection and first results of our research.
Ultraschallmessverfahren werden seit Langem erfolgreich für Prüfaufgaben im Bauwesen eingesetzt. Die dauerhafte Überwachung und frühzeitige Erkennung von Schäden an komplexen Neubauten und alternder Infrastruktur kann mittels Ultraschall-Transmissionsmessungen und speziellen Auswertemethoden, wie z. B. Korrelationverfahren und Codawelleninterferometrie, realisiert werden. Für die Dauerüberwachung wurde ein kompaktes System entwickelt, das Ultraschall-Messdaten erfassen und ins Internet auf einen FTP-Server übertragen kann. Es können hierbei alle angeschlossenen Prüfköpfe für jede Messung wahlweise als Sender oder Empfänger geschaltet werden. Es wurden Vorverstärker entwickelt, bei denen die Versorgung mit Strom über die Messleitung erfolgt. Dadurch können die Verstärker nahe am Prüfkopf positioniert werden. Durch Änderungen in den Ultraschall-Signalen können Schädigungen des Bauteils, wie z.B. Risse, in Echtzeit erkannt werden.
The proposed BAM project SealWasteSafe will advance the state of the art for the construction and monitoring of safe sealing systems for underground repositories of radioactive or toxic waste. During this project, a novel salt concrete exhibiting neither significant cracking nor shrinkage will be optimized for use in the sealing systems. The composition of this material will be based on alkali-activated materials, which are characterized by particularly small thermal deformations during the hardening reaction. Quality assurance and continuous monitoring systems developed during this project will be demonstrated not only for high reliability, but also for resistance to highly alkaline environments and to water intrusion along cables or at sensor locations. A variety of sensors will be used in combination with wireless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to record moisture, temperature, and, if necessary, corrosion activity within the sealing system. Distributed Fibre Optic Sensor (FOS) technology will also be used for strain, temperature, and moisture content measurement. Ultrasound-based measuring methods will be utilized for the detection of cracks and delaminations. Additionally, digital image correlation and acoustic emission analysis will be used for deformation measurements and crack detection. A novel borehole probe and advanced ultrasound imaging techniques will be further developed to track cracks and delaminations within the host rock in 3D. The surface-based Large Aperture Ultrasound System (LAUS) will also be utilized to detect cracks and delaminations deep below the exterior surface of the sealing system. Although the focus of this project will be on the host rock salt, the resulting technologies will be intentionally developed in a way that facilitates their adaptation to other host rocks.
To investigate early stage corrosion processes of stainless steel 1.4301 taking place during the biofilm formation of the organism Shewanella putrefaciens electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a multielectrode approach has been used. The multielectrode array consisted of up to 25 electrically isolated electrodes made of stainless steel wires of diameters ranging from 100 µm to 500 µm. They were connected to a multichannel microelectrode analyzer (MMA) electrically coupled through zero resistance ammeters. Current flow between electrodes in the array as well as changes in impedance of individual electrodes over time were recorded and analyzed with respect to the onset of localized corrosion and biofilm formation. The results were complemented by optical microscopy, SEM and AFM images which were taken immediately after the respective experiment. To verify that the multielectrode arrays correctly indicated the initial stages of the corrosion process and of biofilm formation they were introduced in a flow cell reaction vessel containing test specimens made from stainless steel 1.4301, which were checked regularly for signs of localized corrosion and biofilms. Preceding results with the multielectrode array in solutions containing high amounts of chloride ions and hydrogen peroxide at low pH also showed that it is possible with the MMA to monitor individual electrodes becoming local anodes as local corrosion set in, while the remaining electrodes predominantly acted as cathodes.
Verteilte faseroptische Sensorik eignet sich sehr gut für eine Zustands- und Gefährdungsüberwachung von ausgedehnten Hochspannungskabelinstallationen. Basierend auf der Messung von verschiedenen faseroptischen Rückstreueffekten in der Sensorfaser lassen sich ortsaufgelöste Profile von Messgrößen wie Temperatur, Dehnung oder Vibrationen erzielen.
Hier demonstrieren wir die Leistungsfähigkeit verschiedener faseroptischer Sensorikansätze bezüglich dieser Größen anhand von Experimenten u.a. an einem Mittelspannungskabel. Des Weiteren zeigen wir, wie die Verwendung von verschiedenen Sensorkabeltypen mit unterschiedlicher Applikation auf der Kabeloberfläche die Messergebnisse bei einem Biegeversuch beeinflussen und schlussfolgern damit auf die für die Einbettung in Kabeln geeigneten Sensoren.
