摘要:
A concrete storage module (26) is adapted to slideably receive a cylindrical canister assembly (12) therein. Heat dissipation fins (62) and a tubular heat shield (96) are disposed within the module to help dissipate heat emitted from the nuclear fuel assemblies stored in the canister to air flowing through the module. The canister assembly (12) is composed of a basket assembly (70) constructed from multi-layer structural plates disposed in cross-cross or egg carton configuration. A single port tool (106) is provided for draining water from the canister (12) and replacing the drain water with make-up gas. The single port tool is mounted in the cover (100) of the canister and is in fluid flow communication with the interior of the canister.

The invention relates to a method for making a packaging (2) for transporting and/or storing nuclear material, said packaging including an inner ferrule (20), an outer ferrule, as well as heat conduction means (16), wherein said method includes: making a substantially circular envelope (22') having at least one longitudinal slot defined by two opposite longitudinal edges (42); welding the opposite longitudinal edges in order to form the outer ferrule, said step being carried out so that the weld shrinkage results in a compression strain of the heat conduction means in a radial direction, and so that each weld bead ensures only the attachment onto one another of the two edges connected by the same.

A transport/storage cask for a radioactive material has an inner shell (8), an outer shell (9) and a circular gamma ray shielding layer (10) and a circular neutron shielding layer (11) both of which are placed between the inner shell (8) and the outer shell (9). The gamma ray shielding layer (10) is formed by aligning a plurality of gamma ray shielding blocks (12) composed of lead in a block shape in the circumferential direction. The entire gamma ray shielding block (12) in the axial direction is covered with a copper tube (16) having a higher elasticity limit than the gamma ray shielding block (12). In the above transport/storage cask, the gamma ray shielding layer (10) composed of lead or a lead alloy is not easily deformed.

Heat conductive fins (107) are welded along both sides of a belt-like member (105a) with a margin left along edges of the both sides, thereby to form a unit (105c). The unit (105c) is welded to a body (101) with the heat conductive fins (107) from the outside of each fin. Next, another belt-like member (105b) is covered over a gap between adjacent belt-like members (105a, 105a), and these members are welded from the outside. With this arrangement, there is no need to weld in a narrow and long space and the entire welding step is carried out from the outside, which makes it easier to assemble a cask.

Beim Lagern der nebeneinander angeordneten Behälter (1) wird ein Anteil der von benachbarten Behältern (1) abgegebenen Strahlungswärme zwischen den benachbarten Behältern mit mindestens einer Trennwand (2) aus wärmeabsorbierendem Material absorbiert, und die absorbierte Wärme wird konvektiv an die Umgebungsluft abgegeben.
摘要:
A storage container (10) for hazardous material, especially heat-generating hazardous material, comprises a central elongate, generally cylindrical concrete body (11) having an elongate, sealable interior cavity (E) for accommodating the hazardous material and a cooling liquid in which the hazardous material is immersed. The cavity (E) comprises a generally cylindrical storage section (F) concentric with the concrete body (11) and an expansion chamber (G, H) in fluid communication with the storage section (F). The expansion chamber (G, H) is located axially outside one end of the storage section (F) and extends radially past the circumference of the storage section. It is dimensioned such that when the cavity (E) is filled with a predetermined quantity of the cooling liquid, the cooling liquid completely fills the storage section (F) while still leaving room for expansion of the cooling liquid in the expansion chamber (G, H).
