Sellafield Ltd's new Highly Radioactive Evaporator

摘要

The Sellafield Highly Active Liquid Effluent Storage (HALES) plant stores, concentrates and conditions Highly Active Liquor (HAL) in evaporators for buffer storage in Highly Active Storage Tanks (HASTs). Highly Active (HA) evaporators play a pivotal role in the delivery of reprocessing, historic clean up and hazard reduction missions across the Sellafield site. In addition to the engineering projects implemented to extend the life expectation of the current evaporator fleet, the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is sponsoring the construction of a new HA evaporator (Evaporator D) on the Sellafield site.
