DRYING SYSTEM FOR RADIOACTIVATED METAL WASTE FROM NUCLEAR POWER STATION

摘要

High dose rate metal waste from core internals, such as BWR channel boxes or control rods are stored in fuel pool or site bunker pool. Waste form for final disposal of these high dose rate metal wastes should eliminate water to prevent hydrogen gas which can be caused by radiolysis of water. Toshiba's newly developed drying system for high dose rate metal wastes enable short drying time and easy maintenance. Toshiba will provide the total system to fabricate the waste form for high dose rate metal wastes.
