Abstract

This is a claim for a waste disposal package including an inner or primary canister for containing hazardous and/or radioactive wastes. The primary canister is encapsulated by an outer or secondary barrier formed of a porous ceramic material to control ingress of water to the canister and the release rate of wastes upon breach on the canister. 4 figs.

Defense High Level Waste Disposal Container System Description

Technical Report

The Defense High Level Waste Disposal Container System supports the confinement and isolation of waste within the Engineered Barrier System of the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR). Disposal containers are loaded and sealed in the surface waste handling facilities, transferred to the underground through the accesses using a rail mounted transporter, and emplaced in emplacement drifts. The defense high level waste (HLW) disposal container provides long-term confinement of the commercial HLW and defense HLW (including immobilized plutonium waste forms (IPWF)) placed within disposable canisters, and withstands the loading, transfer, emplacement, and retrieval loads and environments.

Radioactive waste disposal package

Patent Lampe, R

A radioactive waste disposal package is claimed comprising a canister for containing vitrified radioactive waste material and a sealed outer shell encapsulating the canister. A solid block of filler material is supported in said shell and convertible into a liquid state for flow into the space between the canister and outer shell and subsequently hardened to form a solid, impervious layer occupying such space. 4 figs.
Uncanistered Spent Nuclear fuel Disposal Container System Description Document

Technical Report

The Uncanistered Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Disposal Container System supports the confinement and isolation of waste within the Engineered Barrier System of the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR). Disposal containers are loaded with intact uncanistered assemblies and/or individually canistered SNF assemblies and sealed in the surface waste handling facilities, transferred to the underground through the access drifts, and emplaced in the emplacement drifts. The Uncanistered SNF Disposal Container provides long-term confinement of the commercial SNF placed inside, and withstands the loading, transfer, emplacement, and retrieval loads and environments. The Uncanistered SNF Disposal Container System provides containment of waste for a designatedmore »« less

Canisters for spent-fuel disposal: Design measures against localized corrosion

Journal Article Werme, L; Oversby, V - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

Common to all high-level-waste disposal concepts is the encapsulation of the waste into metal canisters. The purpose of this waste canister is to isolate the radioactive waste from contact with its surroundings for a desired time period. The design service life ranges from hundreds to thousands of years depending on the disposal concept. After the isolation has been breached, other barriers in the disposal system will delay and attenuate the radioactive releases to acceptable levels. In a deep geologic repository, the waste package will be exposed to chemical attack and, depending on the type of repository, to mechanical stresses. Eachmore »« less
Role of a buffer component within an engineered barrier waste package and a preliminary evaluation of bentonite as a backfill material

Conference Wood, M; Patera, Jr, E; Coons, W

This paper deals with the functions, properties, and compositions of backfill components to be used in the geologic disposal of high-level nuclear waste in basalt. A conceptual design for a repository located in basalt is being developed by the Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP) in which these backfill components are part of the waste package and the repository sealing system (rooms, tunnels, and shafts). The first part of the paper concerns the role of a buffer component which is located between the primary and secondary physical barriers of the waste package (the canister and overpack). The second part of themore »« less
