Monitored Retrievable Storage Demonstration Facility and dry well storage field conceptual design study
The Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) Demonstration Facility provides for the receipt by truck and packaging (encapsulation), and the dry well passive storage (DWS) of 1500 LWR spent-fuel assemblies and ten canisters of HLW accumulated as a result of commercial nuclear power plant operation. Packaging will occur at the rate of approximately two metric tons of uranium (MTU) per day (three pressurized water reactor (PWR) assemblies plus three boiling water reactor (BWR) assemblies). Functional and physical descriptions of the conceptual design for the MRS Demonstration Facility, sited adjacent to the 200 West Area of the Hanford Reservation, are given in Sections 3.1 through 3.9; similarly, descriptions of the DWS field, located near the receiving and packaging area of the MRS Demonstration Facility, are given in Section 3.10. The performance requirements (Section 4.0), and quality levels, codes and standards (Section 5.0), as defined for the Hanford Site, apply to the conceptual design of the MRS Demonstration Facility and DWS field. The schedule and methods of performance (Section 6.0) also apply to the conceptual design. Special requirements applicable to the facility security, safety, safeguards, and energy conservation are presented in Section 7.0. The overall construction period for the site will be about 33 months. The quality assurance (QA) program (Section 8.0) will apply to both the R and P building and the DWS field. The drawing list and specification outline (Section 9.0) for the on-site facilities include the additional support buildings and utilities described in Sections 3.2 through 3.10. Section 10.0 provides the estimated cost and activation schedule for the MRS Demonstration Facility.
