    摘要: A method of preparing a canister having a cavity loaded with wet radioactive elements for dry storage, the method comprising: (a) providing a gas circulation system comprising a condensing module, a vacuum module, a gas circulator module; (b) connecting the gas circulation system to the canister so as to form a hermetically sealed closed-loop path that includes the cavity; (c) filling the hermetically sealed closed-loop path with a non-reactive gas; (d) circulating the non-reactive gas through the hermetically sealed closed-loop path until the condensing module is no longer removing substantial amounts of water from the circulating non-reactive gas, wherein the vacuum module is sealed off from the hermetically sealed closed-loop path during step (d); (e) discontinuing the circulation of the non-reactive gas through the hermetically sealed closed-loop path; (f) fluidly coupling the vacuum module to the cavity and fluidly isolating the cavity and the vacuum module; and (g) applying a vacuum pressure to the cavity via the vacuum module so as to create a sub-atmospheric pressure within the cavity until a desired vapor pressure is achieved in the cavity of the canister.

    摘要: A ventilated system for storing high level radioactive waste, such as used nuclear fuel, in a below-grade environment, in one embodiment, the invention is a ventilated system comprising an air-intake shell and a plurality of storage shells that are interconnected by a network of pipes configured to achieve double redundancy and/or improved air delivery. In another embodiment, the invention is a ventilated system that utilizes a mass of low level radioactive waste contained in a hermetically sealed enclosure cavity, the low level radioactive waste providing radiation shielding for high level radioactive waste stored in a storage cavity of said ventilated system.

    摘要: A module for storing high level radioactive waste includes an outer shell, having a hermetically closed bottom end, and an inner shell forming a cavity and being positioned inside the outer shell to form a space therebetween. At least one divider extends from the top to the bottom of the inner shell to create a plurality of inlet passageways through the space, each inlet passageway connecting to a bottom portion of the cavity. A plurality of inlet ducts each connect at least one of the inlet passageways and ambient atmosphere, and each includes an inlet duct cover affixed atop a surrounding inlet wall, the inlet wall being peripherally perforated. A removable lid is positioned atop the inner shell and has at least one outlet passageway connecting the cavity and the ambient atmosphere, the lid and the top of the inner shell being configured to form a hermetic seal therebetween.

    摘要: A thermally conductive cask for storing high level radioactive waste. In one aspect the invention can be a thermally conductive cask comprising: a gamma shielding cylindrical body forming a cavity for receiving high level radioactive waste and having an outer surface formed of a first material having a first thermal conductivity; a neutron shielding cylindrical body surrounding the gamma shielding cylindrical body and having a layer formed of a second material having a second thermal conductivity that is greater than the first thermal conductivity, the layer forming an inner surface of the neutron shielding cylindrical body; and wherein the layer is clad to the outer surface of the gamma shielding cylindrical body.
