Worker radiation doses during vertical emplacement and retrieval of spent fuel at the tuff repository
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:60142
One of the principal objectives of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) Project is the development of conceptual designs of the equipment and facilities that will be required at the tuff repository for high level radioactive waste. This report has been prepared for use by the repository designers in the conceptual design of waste-handling facilities and equipment for vertical emplacement. Emplacement and retrieval operations and the estimated worker radiation doses are listed. All annual doses are below the 5-rem permissible dose-equivalent limit. One crew member designation exceeds the design objective of 1 rem. These worker doses will be reduced in future design phases by increasing shielding on the equipment at the facility. 9 refs., 4 figs., 23 tabs.
