For the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel and other high-Level radioactive waste, dual purpose casks for the transportation and storage are widely used. Usually, these casks consist of a thick-walled monolithic cask body and a bolted double barrier lid System equipped with metal seals (consisting of an inner helical spring and two outer metal layers with a total cross-section diameter between 5 and 10 mm) to ensure the long-term safe confinement of the radioactive inventory.
Based on analytical and experimental studies, such metallic Systems have been qualified of storage periods of up to four decades so far as long as proper manufacturing and assembling conditions are met. More than 20 years of Operation experience with a permanently increasing number of casks has shown full compliance with the expectations.
In the meantime many countries have to face a significant delay of establishing a high-level radioactive waste repository what leads to Need for extending interim storage periods for probably 60, 80 or 100 years.
For that reason the long-term performance of metal seals for such time periods is of specific internst to demonstrate their sufficient safety function and specific investigations have already been launched, e.g. by BAM, to gain more experimental data and to develop validated models to extrapolate the seal performance to longer periods of time and or requested temperature levels.
Transport and storage of radioactive materials are performed in countries with policy of either closed or open nuclear fuel cycle. The related technologies have been established by accumulation of experiences and researches including demonstrative tests using full scale or scale models and analyses. Those are essential before commercialization, but are often costly and time consuming. Such demonstrative works should not be repeated meaninglessly, but can be shared through this kind of book and used by readers and the future generations to advance the technology effectively. This book systematically provides findings from lots of valuable researches on safety of transport and storage of radioactive materials under normal and accident conditions that have an impact on basis of safe regulations, designs, and operations.
der Vortrag stellt den aktuellen Bearbeitungsstand und Ergebnisse des laufenden Drittmittelvorhabens LaMEP vor. Hierbei geht es um Alterungsprozesse an sicherheitsrelevanten Behälterkomponenten während der langfristigen trockenen Zwischenlagerung bestrahlter Brennlemente und hochradioaktiver Abfälle. Die Untersuchungen umfassen Metall- und Elstomerdichtungen sowie Polymerkomponenten zur Neutronenabschirmung.
This Presentation adresses the major needs and challenges of qualification processes for nuclear waste packages performed by BAM. Packages include those for high level radioactive waste like spent fuel as well as those for low and intermediate level waste to be disposed of in the Konrad repository.
Beginning with the current German nuclear waste management policy design testing capabilities and experience at BAM is explained followed by illustrating the major strategic process to identify future challenges including specific R&D needs.
Der Vortrag illustriert den Stand und die Herausforderungen im Rahmen der Behälter-Bauartprüfungen für das Endlager Konrad. Ausgehend von den Grundlagen der Bauartprüfung und die aktuelle Situation bei den Antragsverfahren werden die fachlichen Begutachtungsschwerpunkte sowie Maßnahmen zur Optimierung Prozess- und Verfahrenssteuerung erläutert.
Der Vortrag vermittelt einen Überblick über internationale Forschungsaktivitäten im Hinblick auf zukünftig deutlich zu verlängernde Zwischenlagerzeiträume für bestrahlte Brennelemente. Ausgehend von der aktuellen Entsorgungssituation werden die relevanten Fragestellungen skizziert. Davon ausgehend werden die FuE-Aktivitäten der IAEA vorgestellt sowie die wichtigsten Themen beim Extended Storage Collaboration Program (ESCP) in den USA. Schließlich wird das "European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management and Disposal“ kurz vorgestellt und werden die nationalen Initiativen auf diesem Sektor diskutiert.

Als Ausblick auf noch ausstehende Arbeiten zum Verbundvorhaben "KoBrA" zur Erfassung nationaler und internationaler Anforderungen und Konzepte für Behälter zur Endlagerung wärmeentwickelnder radioaktiver Abfälle in den potentiellen Wirtsgesteinformationen Kristallin, Ton und Salz werden die grundlegenden Anforderungen und Schutzziele der Endlagerbehälter untersucht und der konzeptionelle Weg von Anforderungen hin zu Konzepten erläutert.
Ongoing R&D work at BAM
(2018)
The presentation provides an update on the German nuclear waste management policy towards final disposal and related reasearch at BAM. Topics include long term investigations of metal seals, investigations of fuel cladding failure mechanisms, and the development of requirements and concepts for high level radioactive waste and spent fuel disposal containers.
Elastomers show a high versatility which makes them ideal materials for sealing applications in various fields. Especially under changing application conditions the high recovery potential of this class of material is beneficial to compensate temperature or pressure fluctuation, and geometrical changes resulting from mechanical loads in e.g. accident conditions. Out of these reasons elastomers are also used in containers for low and intermediate level radioactive waste and for spent fuel transportation casks. In casks designed for low and intermediate level waste elastomer seals can act as primary seal responsible for the containment function whereas in spent fuel storage and transportation casks (dual purpose casks (DPC)) elastomer seals are used as auxiliary seals to allow leakage rate measurements of metal barrier seals. An inherent prerequisite for this kind of application is the Long time-scale of operation without or with limited possibility of seal replacement. In Germany an interim storage license for DPC`s is typically issued for 40 years, a timeframe which might increase in the future due to challenges of the final repository siting procedure. For low and intermediate level waste, also long time periods are required before final disposal can be achieved. Therefore, the performance of elastomer seals over extended time periods is, as for other applications, of high importance.
A typical approach to ensure long-term functionality is to perform accelerated aging tests to calculate an estimated lifetime by assuming e.g. Arrhenius like equations for the timetemperature relationship. This approach requires a suitable end of life criterion considering the application of interest. This often can represent a challenge on its own.
As BAM is involved in most of the cask licensing procedures and especially responsible for the evaluation of cask-related long-term safety issues we initiated several test programs for investigating the behavior of elastomer seals. Experiments concerning the low temperature performance down to -40 °C and the influence of gamma irradiation have been started first.
Currently the thermal aging behavior of elastomer seals, which is the topic of this contribution, is examined. For our aging investigations we use a broad approach to first determine the property changes in different elastomer materials due to thermo-oxidative aging at elevated temperatures and secondly, we test how the typical methods of lifetime extrapolation can be applied to these results. This Approach enables us to detect and exclude undesired side effects which very often influence lifetime estimations. In this contribution, our recent results are extended. The results show that lifetime estimation based on single material properties can be misleading and therefore a combination of several methods is recommended.
Im Vorhaben "KoBrA" sollen aus bestehenden Anforderungen für endlagerfähige Behälter und aus internationalen Erfahrungen ein aktueller Stand auf dem Gebiet der Behälterforschung für HLW/SF-Behälter ermittelt und generische Vorschläge für einen deutschen HLW/BE-Endlagerbehälter in den drei potentiellen Wirtsgesteinen (Kristallin, Ton oder Salz) erarbeitet werden. Im Arbeitspaket 1 wird dafür eine umfassende Literaturrecherche zu internationalen Behälterkonzepten durchgeführt, deren erste Ergebnisse hier präsentiert werden.
