Record 1 - external organization data 2004-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

OPG [Ontario Power Generation] reported that, as a result of the likely re-mobilization of some tritium contamination during repairs and modifications of the site drainage system in late 2001, the tritium levels in well WSH-231 rose to approximately 12, 000 Bq/l.

To explain the significance of the groundwater contamination, OPG [Ontario Power Generation] cited the CNSC [Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission] prescribed limit of 203, 500 Bq/l, and the no-effect value for non-human biota in groundwater(non-potable) contaminated with tritium of 3 x 106 Bq/l.

CONT

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.... An incinerator and a baler for solid wastes with relatively low levels of contamination have been operating routinely in the Waste Treatment Center(WTC) since 1982. Ultrafiltration and reverse-osmosis systems for concentrating liquid wastes and bituminization systems for the concentrates are also situated in the WTC, and are now undergoing commissioning. A tritium extraction plant is under construction which will remove and stabilize the majority of the tritium from the heavy water used in the reactors....

Record 5 1996-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
  • Radioactive Contamination
CONT

A tritium extraction plant is under construction which will remove and stabilize the majority of the tritium from the heavy water used in the reactors, and thus indirectly reduce the amount of tritium contamination in the wastes. The immobilized tritium will be placed into disposal or recycled for use by industry.

OBS

déchet contaminé en plutonium.

OBS

On trouve aussi l'expression «déchets tritiés». Voir la justification qui suit.

OBS

Certaines recherches portent sur le conditionnement des déchets de réacteur [...] mais l'effort majeur concerne les déchets de retraitement, notamment les déchets contaminés par des émetteurs alpha : déchets de gainage [...], résidus de dissolution [...], cendres d'incinérateur [...], déchets tritiés (immobilisation sous forme d'hydrite de zirconium), déchets solides venant notamment de la fabrication des combustibles mixtes U-Pu [...]
