Record 1 2014-12-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

After the depleted fuel assemblies are removed from the reactor, they are placed in a canister … The canister alone, however, is not sufficient to provide adequate gamma or neutron radiation shielding. Therefore, apparatus that provide additional radiation shielding are required during transport, preparation and subsequent dry storage … The additional shielding is achieved by placing the canisters within large cylindrical containers called casks. Casks are typically designed to shield the environment from the dangerous radiation in two ways. First, shielding of gamma radiation requires large amounts of mass. Gamma rays are best absorbed by materials with a high atomic number and a high density, such as concrete, lead, and steel. The greater the density and thickness of the blocking material, the better the absorption/shielding of the gamma radiation.

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
CONT

Le conditionnement des matières radioactives. Le conditionnement est un processus industriel qui met en œuvre :-un matériau de blocage qui immobilise les déchets. Ce matériau constitue la matrice-une(ou plusieurs) enveloppe(s), dans laquelle(lesquelles) les déchets immobilisés sont placés, facilitant ainsi principalement la manutention. L'ensemble est appelé colis.

The description of a package as a Type A package, a Type B package, a Fissile package, an Industrial package or an Excepted package describes the toughness of the package and the limits of its contents and not its shape or size.

OBS

Packages that contain fissile material may be encountered from time to time. In the shipping documentation, the word "Fissile" or letter "F" will be added to the package description, as in Type AF package.

CONT

À l’occasion, il peut y avoir des colis de matières fissiles. On ajoute alors le mot «Fissile» ou la lettre «F» à la désignation du colis dans les documents d’expédition (exemple : colis de type AF).

OBS

Des désignations de colis comme «type A», «type B», «classe fissile», «industriel» ou [«excepté»] font référence à la résistance du colis et aux limites du contenu et non à la forme ou à la taille du colis.

... a package that conforms to paragraph 415 of the IAEA Regulations. [Packaging and Transport of Nuclear Substances Regulations.]

OBS

... contain very low activities of radioactive material with a very low hazard. An example might be a calibration source shipped to a high school. Even if there was an accident, the amount of material does not pose a significant hazard. There are no labels or special marking and the package could be a small industrial-strength cardboard box.

Colis qui est conforme au paragraphe 415 du Règlement de l’AIEA. [Règlement sur l’emballage et le transport des substances nucléaires.]

OBS

[...] contiennent des matières très peu radioactives et comportent un facteur de risque fort peu élevé. De tels colis pourraient, par exemple, contenir une source d’étalonnage expédiée à une école secondaire. Même en cas d’accident, la quantité de matières ne pose pas de risque important. Ce type de colis ne porte pas d’étiquette particulière et pourrait être une petite boîte de carton à usage industriel.
