Abstract

The purpose of this work is to perform a feasibility test of a Machine Vision system for potential use at the Hanford K basins during spent nuclear fuel (SNF) operations. This report documents the testing performed to establish functionality of the system including quantitative assessment of results. Fauske and Associates, Inc., which has been intimately involved in development of the SNF safety basis, has teamed with Agris-Schoen Vision Systems, experts in robotics, tele-robotics, and Machine Vision, for this work.

Acceptance & validation test report for HANSF code version 1.3.2

Technical Report PIEPHO, M

The HANSF code, Version 1.3.2, is a stand-along code that runs only in DOS. As a result, it runs on any Windows' platform, since each Windows{trademark} platform can create a DOS-prompt window and execute HANSF in the DOS window. The HANSF code is proprietary to Fauske & Associates, Inc., (FAI) of Burr Ridge, IL, the developers of the code. The SNF Project has a license from FAI to run the HANSF code on any computer for only work related to SNF Project. The SNF Project owns the MCO.FOR routine, which is the main routine in HANSF for CVDF applications. Themore »« less

Hanford spent nuclear fuel project update

Conference Williams, N

Twenty one hundred metric tons of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are currently stored in the Hanford Site K Basins near the Columbia River. The deteriorating conditions of the fuel and the basins provide engineering and management challenges to assure safe current and future storage. DE and S Hanford, Inc., part of the Fluor Daniel Hanford, Inc. lead team on the Project Hanford Management Contract, is constructing facilities and systems to move the fuel from current pool storage to a dry interim storage facility away from the Columbia River, and to treat and dispose of K Basins sludge, debris and water.more »« less

Hanford`s progress toward dry interim storage of K basin`s spent fuel

Conference

This paper highlights the progress made toward removing the U.S. Department of Energy`s (DOE) approximately 2, 100 metric tons of metallic spent nuclear fuel from two outdated K Basins on the banks of the Columbia River and placing it in safe, economic interim dry storage beginning in December 1997. A new way of doing business at the Hanford Site and within DOE is being used to achieve the fast-track schedule, , cost savings, and public cooperation needed for success. In February 1994, the Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Project was formed to solve serious safety and environmental problems associated with corrodingmore »« less

Real-Time Canister Welding Health Monitoring and Prediction System for Spent Fuel Dry Storage

Technical Report Lin, Bin; Zhao, George (Xiaoliang); Tang, Dr. Yuye; ...

The possibility of chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) in welded stainless-steel dry storage canisters (DSC) for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) has been identified as a potential concern regarding long-term performance of the canister’s containment boundary. During canister fabrication, the welding procedure introduces high tensile residual stress and sensitization in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), which might render the welds susceptible to the incubation of pitting and transition to crack initiation and growth when exposed to an aggressive chemical environment. To reduce the potential for a through-wall CISCC and breach of the canister’s containment boundary, Intelligent Automations, Inc. (IAI), along with Oakmore »« less
Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Project Cold Vacuum Drying (CVD) Facility Operations Manual

Technical Report IRWIN, J

The mission of the Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Project Cold Vacuum Drying Facility (CVDF) is to achieve the earliest possible removal of free water from Multi-Canister Overpacks (MCOs). The MCOs contain metallic uranium SNF that have been removed from the 100K Area fuel storage water basins (i.e., the K East and K West Basins) at the US. Department of Energy Hanford Site in Southeastern Washington state. Removal of free water is necessary to halt water-induced corrosion of exposed uranium surfaces and to allow the MCOs and their SNF payloads to be safely transported to the Hanford Site 200 East Areamore »« less
