An alternative to water storage is above-ground storage in large concrete canisters developed by researchers at AECL’s Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment near Pinawa, Manitoba. These canisters are fortified with two sealed inner steel liners and cooled by convection.  1, record 1, English, - canister

The repository will consist of concrete silos each having a holding capacity of 15000 m³. Concrete silos (53 m in height) are to be constructed inside rock caverns and are subdivided into vertical cells which will be filled from the top and covered with a layer of concrete.  3, record 1, English, - canister

Lieux de traitement. Il existe plusieurs possibilités suivant la nature et l'activité des déchets, leur période de décroissance, et le mode de conditionnement après compactage. En effet, certains sont actuellement compactés et stockés directement sur le site d'émission des produits, en vue d'une évacuation éventuelle ultérieure vers les centres de stockage nationaux existants ou à créer (cellules, silos, etc.).  4, record 1, French, - silo

A schematic diagram of a modular concrete canister disposal(MCCD) facility is shown in Figure 5. 5. Modular concrete canister disposal consists of placing individual waste containers in modular concrete structures(i. e. overpacking the individual waste containers in concrete canisters) and disposing of the concrete canisters in shallow low trenches below natural grade. Except for the use of the concrete canisters, the physical details of belowground modular concrete canister disposal closely resemble those of shallow land disposal(in that disposal is below grade with shallow cover) and belowground vaults(in that structured capability is also provided by the facility).  2, record 2, English, - modular%20concrete%20canister%20disposal

Modular concrete canister disposal. Figure 11 shows the canister disposal option. Its main characteristics are that: . wastes are placed in concrete canisters that can then be placed either in shallow, below-grade trenches or above grade on a concrete pad; . there is a shallow earthen cover over the waste trenches containing the canisters (earth or soil may be mounded over the canisters in the above-ground version); . structural stability is provided by each canister; . the structure is modular in nature; and . safety may be enhanced in future by additional engineered barriers.  4, record 2, English, - modular%20concrete%20canister%20disposal

Engineered Trench, Belowground Vault, Modular Concrete Canister and Boreholes.... These disposal concepts require relatively uniform overburden media of clay, till or sand.... the overburden geology of southern Ontario is more consistent and laterally homogeneous than that of northern Ontario and, thus, offers considerably more potential for finding a technically suitable site for a LLW [low-level radioactive waste] disposal facility. The overburden of the Canadian Shield is patchy, with a considerable amount of exposed bedrock, surface water, peat bogs, etc. that are unsuitable for siting a LLW facility.... One exception is the Cochrane clay belt... which is a relatively thick and continuous belt of silty clay till.  2, record 7, English, - clay%20belt
