Commercial nuclear-waste research and development program. Quarterly report, July-September 1982
This document is a report of activities during the fourth quarter of FY-1982 to meet task objectives of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations FY-1982 Project Plan. Noteworthy accomplishments were: The second Climas fuel exchange of FY 1982 was completed. Source evaluation of the bidders was completed. The contract for glass refurbishment and window fabrication for the East Process Cell is being negotiated. All canister gas samples scheduled for FY 1982 were taken and analyzed; no {sup 85}K was detected. Fuel assembly B-02 was removed from the Surface Storage Cask (SSC) in preparation for fuel and canister contamination surveys and subsequent placement in the fuel temperature test. This event terminated a four year demonstration of dry interim storage of a sealed canister containing spent nuclear fuel in an above ground surface storage cask. The data acquisition systems which were damaged by lightning were repaired and returned to operation. The draft report for Task 13, Documentation of E-MAD Spent Fuel Assembly Histories and Predictions of Peak Clad Temperatures, was completed and transmitted to DOE and PNL for review. Twenty-one tours were conducted for 312 visitors to the E-MAD Facility, including the governor of Utah and his staff.
