Anglais

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

The simplest form of engineered trench, or shallow land burial, relies mainly on the properties of the excavated overburden and the geohydrologic properties of the site for containment. The intent is to ensure that the travel time of radionuclides from the waste to the human environment via groundwater is long compared to the nuclide half lives. Travel time is long because of low hydraulic gradients, soils of low water permeability and high contaminant adsorption, and lengthy pathways across exclusion zones.

CONT

Illustration of a shallow land burial facility(engineered trench).... Figure 9 outlines the engineered trench option. In this option, the major characteristics are that :. wastes are placed below grade(in suitable hydrogeological conditions) in trenches having a specially prepared bottom that incorporates a drainage system;. there is an earthen cover over the wastes that easily can incorporate additional engineered barriers;. structural stability is not provided by the disposal facility; and. for structural stability, voids between the waste containers are filled with sans or earthen materials-bulk wastes may be compacted.

CONT

Shallow-land burial in trenches was the original low-level waste disposal practice at the beginning of the nuclear era. The method originally consisted in emplacing the wastes in trenches dug into the ground at depths ranging from 3 to 6 m and covering the emplaced wastes with about 1 m of soil.

CONT

Burial trenches without additional engineered barriers can be used provided that radionuclides will migrate into groundwater beneath the site at an acceptable rate.

OBS

As used in this context, the word "engineered" refers to the fact that features and materials have been designed or selected to accomplish certain functions. In shallow land burial the materials are usually natural rather than man-made.

CONT

Des stockages par enfouissement à faible profondeur sont réalisés aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne, en U.R.S.S., au Canada et en France. Dans les deux premiers pays, le stockage se fait sur des déchets pas ou peu conditionnés, dans des tranchées en pleine terre.

CONT

Stockage de surface. [...] Le stockage peut être réalisé en tranchées, mode acceptable pour des terrains argileux, si la nappe phréatique est suffisamment basse.

OBS

Voir aussi «tranchée bétonnée».

OBS

Dans ce contexte, l'adjectif «engineered» pourrait se rendre par «spécialement conçu». Voir l'observation qui se trouve dans le module anglais de la fiche.

A low-height space between the bottom of the floor of the lowest building story and the grade; may have an earthen or paved floor.

CONT

DEF

Volume aéré et continu de faible hauteur entre le sol et le plancher bas d'une construction.

CONT

Dans les constructions qui ne comportent pas de sous-sol, le vide sanitaire est un volume d'au moins 20 cm de hauteur, ménagé entre les planchers bas du rez-de-chaussée et le sol naturel, pour isoler ces planchers du sol et éviter les remontées d'humidité; tout vide sanitaire doit comporter, à sa périphérie quelques orifices grillagés assurant une ventilation, modérée mais effective.

OBS

Malgré leur surcoût par rapport aux constructions en terre-plein, les vides sanitaires sont indispensables sur des sols humides ou perméables, qui tendent à se gorger d'eau en période de pluies.

Figure 6. 1 illustrates a typical open disposal trench at the Barnwell facility. The trench floor is sloped slightly and covered with a layer of sand to facilitate collection of percolating water in a french drain. A number of pipes allow any water that may collect in the french drain to be removed and analyzed. Presently waste, primarily in boxes, drums and cask liners, is stacked neatly in the trench, starting at the high end and progressing toward the low end. High specific activity waste is usually placed at the bottom of the trench. A separate narrower shielded trench is used at Barnwell for waste that has very high dose rates at the package surface. As the level of the waste reaches the design level, 2 m below grade, a layer of dry soil is added and allowed to filter down between the waste containers. When a trench is filled, it is covered with a cap of at least 0. 6 m of compacted native clay, followed by at least 0. 9 m of soil.

OBS

"Disposal" usually refers to permanent storage.

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

The upflow or high-boy furnace has the blower beneath the heat exchanger discharging vertically upward. Air enters through the bottom or the side of the blower compartment and leaves at the top. Such furnaces may be used in closets and utility rooms on the first floor of homes or in basements with the return air ducted down to the blower compartment entrance.

CONT

The three basic types [of forced air furnace] are upflow, counter flow and horizontal, and there are several variations depending on the actual installation.... The highboy(upflow) furnace is used primarily in single-level homes when the ducts are placed in the attic. This may be because of the slab on grade construction or because there is limited crawl space. The furnace may be located in a closet or recessed area in the wall. The air enters the furnace through a low side entry or through the bottom, and it leaves through the top.

OBS

Among the principal types [of forced-air furnaces] used for residences and small buildings the following arrangements are common: ... High-boy arrangement with up-flow of air, in which the blower is located at the bottom of the casing and the heat exchanger is located at the top.... High-boy arrangement with down-flow of air, in which the blower is located at the top of the casing and the heat exchanger is located below the blower.

Déblais sous l'eau. Les travaux de terrassement deviennent plus délicats à exécuter lorsque le fond des fouilles est envahi par des infiltrations ou même lorsqu'on doit s'établir en rivière (...) Dans ce dernier cas, il n'est pas indispensable d'assécher le fond de la fouille.

CONT

Pour éviter des glissements sur les terrains sous-jacents, le fond de fouille doit être horizontal.
