Abstract
ENEA (the Italian Agency for New Technology, Energy and the Environment) is involved in the temporary disposal of radioactive wastes produced by its own labs and those produced by national industries. Within this context, ENEA and the University of Pisa are studying a new type of container to be used in the collection and storage of wastes prior to final disposal. Attempts are being made to develop a cylindrical vessel capable of containing a 220 liter industrial drum weighing up to 4,000 N and filled with solid wastes in bulk or within a solid binding material. The waste may consist of any type of radioactive or non-radioactive hazardous material. At first, it was thought that silicon foam, due to its proven good thermal and mechanical properties, workability and reliability, would be a suitable packing material in accordance with IAEA regulations. A half-size scale model, consisting of a two piece set of double walled (75 mm silicon filled gap) 2 mm thick mild steel shells, was built. With the use of the results obtained through extensive materials and mechanical tests, this paper illustrates the key design and performance features of this demonstration model container.
