BAM as competent authority regarding assessment of mechanical and thermal design, activity release and quality assurance measures of Type-B(U) transport packages developed a thesaurus of experience feedback topics from recent assessment procedures. The list is structured according to the European PDSR guide. It involves issues, which from BAM's point of view, needed clarification during the last package design assessment procedures. The list contains issues from Operation (e.g. deactivation of handling lugs not intended for package handling), maintenance (e.g. leak tightness of impact limiting devices) to technical assessment (e.g. formation of hydrogen by radiolysis and its impact on pressure and ignitability, consideration of ageing mechanisms, thermo-mechanical assessment, impact of gaps between content and flask) as well as to general and specific safety analysis report requirements (e.g. report structure and required data).
Radioactive wastes are generated by research and medicine (e.g., the use of radioisotopes), industrial use of radioisotopes (e.g., for nondestructive materials testing), different activities related to nuclear power plant (NPP) operations (e.g., mining of uranium and thorium ores, manufacturing of fuel assemblies, operational waste generation during NPP Operation), reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, and dismantling of nuclear installations.
