DEVELOPMENT OF DUAL-PURPOSE TRANSPORT PACKING SET WITHBIOLOGICAL PROTECTION MADE OF DEPLETED URANIUM FOR TRANSPORTATIONAND LONG-TERM STORAGE OF 36 RFRA OF WWER-1000'

摘要

The report is devoted to the problem of development of a promising design of a dual-purposetransport packing set (TPS-117) with biological protection made of depleted uranium fortransportation and long-term storage (not less than 50 years) of RNF of WWER-1000 reactors. Useof depleted uranium as effective gamma-protection and use of siloxane rubber as a solid neutronprotection in TPS-117 design allow to reach the maximum loading of container with retired nuclearfuel at the given dimensions of TPS with compliance to all requirements of the IAEA on safety.
