Strategien zur Bestimmung von Temperaturen von Transport- und Lagerbehältern für radioaktive Stoffe
(2010)
In Germany dual purpose casks for spent nuclear fuel (SF) or high level radioactive waste (HLW) are used for safe transportation and interim storage. Key safety issues in both fields are the safe enclosure of the radioactive material, the safe removal of decay heat, securing nuclear criticality safety, limitation of radiation exposure to acceptable levels and keeping it as low as reasonable achievable (ALARA principle).
Whereas these safety requirements during transportation are ensured by the Type-B(U)-design testing and approval procedure on basis of internationally agreed IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) requirements storage licenses are issued on national and site specific safety analyses.
This paper presents experiences from recent interim storage safety evaluation and licensing procedures in Germany on basis of a Type-B(U) certified cask designs concerning specific differences from Operation and accident conditions inside the storage facility. The focus is laid on the interaction of cask and building structures with regard to shielding, heat removal and accident analyses including aircraft crash. Basic safety is assured by thick-walled metal casks with monitored double lid Systems. They also reduce radiation to levels where workers can safely operate and maintain the casks inside the storage facility. The storage building e. g. provides additional shielding and protection against extemal hazards depending on the building construction. In addition, the storage building helps to reduce radiation levels at the boundary of the storage site well below regulatory limits given by the German Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrSchV).
Abfallgebinde, die im Endlager Konrad eingelagert werden sollen, müssen die Anforderungen und Kriterien erfüllen, die in den Endlagerungsbedingungen (SE-IB-29/08-Rev-1 [1]) und in der Produktkontrolle (SE-IB-30/08-Rev-1) festgelegt sind. Die Qualifizierung der Abfallbehälter erfolgt auf dieser Grundlage in Form von Bauartprüfungen, die von der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) im Auftrag des Bundesamtes für Strahlenschutz (BfS) durchgeführt werden. Darüber hinaus sind die im Hinblick auf Behälterbauartprüfungen relevanten Nebenbestimmungen aus dem Planfeststellungsbeschluss für das Endlager Konrad zu berücksichtigen. Zur besseren Anwendbarkeit werden diese Nebenbestimmungen in die Endlagerungsbedingungen und die Produktkontrolle eingearbeitet. Begleitend ist als Hilfestellung für die Abfallablieferer und Behälterhersteller ein Leitfaden geplant, der praktikable Nachweisstrategien aufzeigt und, soweit erforderlich, Hintergrundinformationen zu den Spezifikationen der Regelwerke liefert. Die BAM ist vom BfS beauftragt, hierfür Vorschläge zu entwickeln und Empfehlungen abzugeben.
Low and intermediate level radio active waste has been produced in Germany for several decades. While a part of the waste had been deposited in the Morleben repository and the Asse mine which have been operated for just a limited period of time, the major amount is conditioned and packaged in temporarily stored waste containers.
Those containers are designated for final disposal in the KONRAD repository being currently under construction and expected to start operation in 2022. As a consequence, an assessment of the waste container documentation and safety is strongly needed to receive an approval for the KONRAD repository. This requalification is challenging because those old containers have to meet the same safety requirements as new containers.
