Record 1 2011-10-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

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.

CONT

Canada’s nuclear power plants have been safely storing high-level nuclear waste ... in water-filled storage pools for the past 30 years. Water not only cools the bundles, it shields people from the radioactivity without becoming radioactive itself.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
  • Déchets nucléaires
CONT

Une solution de rechange au stockage en piscine est le stockage en surface dans des silos en béton, renforcés par deux seaux d'étanchéité et refroidis par convection, mis au point par les chercheurs de l'Établissement de recherches nucléaires de Whiteshell.

CONT

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.

CONT

Finland has ... proposed a design based on the large cavern concept. This conceptual configuration consists of large vertical disposal caverns in which concrete silos would be built. The silos are lined with steel and/or shotcrete.

CONT

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.

OBS

CONT

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.).

OBS

A laboratory has existed in the Chilton site since 1951 when the then Rutherford High Energy Laboratory, an establishment of the National Institute for Research in Nuclear Science was set up. Following mergers with the Atlas and Appleton Laboratories in 1975 and 1979 respectively, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory was formed with a diverse remit to support a wide range of university research activities. Together with Daresburg Laboratory, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory was brought under the umbrella of the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils in 1995.
