Abstract: Disclosed is a method of installing a reversibly porous, air-diffusible, water-restrictive, polymer plug in a port that extends through the wall of a nuclear waste storage container. The plug is inserted a predetermined distance, for example, with the aid of a screwdriver applied to a slot in the plug's outer face. When inserted, the plug prevents the loss of nuclear waste through the port while the air-diffusible nature of the material allows gases to pass through the material. The resultant venting action of the plug prevents the creation of pressure differences between the interior of the container and the environment. Thus, the likelihood of the container becoming overpressurized and leaking is minimized. In addition, the water-restrictive nature of the plug material restricts the ingress and egress of water from the container, reducing the likelihood of groundwater contamination during storage. After insertion, a portion of the plug left projecting from the container's surface is removed, protecting the plug from external forces and tampering.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a container for receiving and safely storing radioactive or other materials damaging to living organisms, especially such materials as vitrified radioactive fission products or irradiated nuclear reactor fuel elements. The container includes a vessel and a sealing cover. The vessel has a circular opening at one of its ends for receiving the materials to be stored therein, and a sealing cover is seated in this opening to tightly seal the container. In order to obtain a container of the kind which has the required high impermeability to gas, the open end of the inner bore of the vessel is widened to define a conical surface. A sealing cover is pressed into the vessel at this conical surfce. The sealing cover has a peripheral surface which converges toward the interior of the vessel and which has a taper corresponding to that of the conical surface of the vessel. The vessel wall and sealing cover are welded together by means of a fused-mass joint extending around the entire periphery of the cover. By means of the conical configuration of the upper end portion of the vessel and of the sealing cover, a considerably improved seal between the vessel wall and the sealing cover is obtained. A method for sealing the container is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is a high integrity storage container which is particularly well adapted for storage of chemical, radio-nucleide, or other types of waste materials. The body portion will typically be of right rectangular configuration having an open top. An inwardly oriented flange is located completely around the upper periphery of the container body where it acts with a corresponding mating surface on a lid to provide sealing surfaces. A key element is a novel folded gasket located between the mating surfaces of the body and lid. This is oriented with the fold portion toward the outer periphery of the container where it has minimum exposure to the contents. Preferably, the lips or edges of the gasket are bonded to the lid and body flange by a pressure sensitive adhesive to form a tight seal. A resilient strip is located within the folded area of the gasket to urge the adhesive coated surfaces into intimate contact with the mating surfaces of the lid and body flange. The use of the inwardly located flange allows close contact between adjacent containers in a storage area so that waste space is minimized. The folded gasket acts like a bellows to maintain the seal integrity if stresses during use cause minor displacement between the container body and lid.

Abstract: An improved container for transportation or storage of radioactive substances, especially spent nuclear fuel elements, has a cylindrical open-top thick-wall metallic body for shielding gamma radiation. A liner for the container has a top peripheral flange engaged with the bottom of a counterbore in the container open top. A thick gamma-ray shielding cover for the lining is disposed in the counterbore and screw means detachably secure both the lining flange and the cover to the body independently. The body has exterior generally parallel spaced cooling fins transversely intersected by flanges of lesser height to minimize fin cracks extending into the body. Neutron shielding is disposed in the exterior spaces between the fins and the flanges.
