Retrievable surface storage of high-level radioactive wastes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4387169
From joint meeting of the American Nuclear Society and the Atomic Industrial Forum and Nuclear Energy Exhibition; San Francisco, California, USA (11 Nov 1973). A Retrievable Surface Storage facility (RSSF) for the interim storage of solidified high-level nuclear wastes will be built for the USAEC at Richland to serve until a permanent waste repository is established. Design criteria for the RSSF are presented, and the three basic storage concepts currently being evaluated, i.e., storage in cooled water basins, in air-cooled concrete vaults, and in air-cooled steel casks, are discussed.
