International safeguards for a light-water reactor fuels reprocessing plant: containment and surveillance concepts

Technical Report · Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 EST 1980

OSTI ID:6702229

Cameron, C P; Bleck, M E

Concepts for containment/surveillance for reprocessing plants are described, conceptual designs are developed, and their effectiveness is evaluated. A technical approach to design of containment/surveillance systems is presented, and design considerations are discussed. This is the second in a series of reports. The first described the basis for the study of international safeguards for reprocessing plants. In this second report, only containment/surveillance is discussed. The third report will discuss the integration of concepts for containment/surveillance and material accountancy.
