Closure weld development for spent fuel canisters. Interim report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5860013
In the spent fuel receiving and packaging facility, spent fuel assemblies would be enclosed within heavy-walled carbon steel canisters, and caps would be welded onto the canisters such that the sealed canisters would meet the intent of requirements for coded pressure vessels. The entire canister sealing operation, including welding and weld inspection, would normally be conducted remotely in a shielded hot-cell. A weld development activity was initiated to investigate canister sealing operations and to provide design criteria and bases for the spent fuel receiving and packaging facility and the canister. The activity plan included laboratory evaluation of welding processes and weld inspection techniques. Full-scale demonstrations were planned to evaluate, develop, and demonstrate the remote handling aspects of the operation. In February 1979, direction was received to suspend the weld development activity and to store its associated records and materials.
