Fabrication of Containment Canisters for Nuclear Waste by Friction Stir Welding

摘要

In Sweden, spent nuclear fuel will be encapsulated in disposal canisters before deposition in a deep repository in the Swedish bedrock. The 12 nuclear reactors in Sweden are in operation at four different sites. These reactors produce approximately 50% of the electricity used in Sweden. During the past 25 years a comprehensive system for radioactive waste management has been developed. The system is owned and managed by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB). SKB is owned by the Swedish nuclear power utilities.
