Proposed Design Requirements for High-Integrity Containers Used to Store, Transport, and Dispose of High-Specific-Activity, Low-Level Radioactive Wastes from Three Mile Island Unit II

摘要

This report develops proposed design requirements for high integrity containers used to store, transport and/or dispose of high-activity, low-level radioactive wastes from Three Mile Island Unit II. The wastes considered are the dewatered resins produced by the EPICOR II waste treatment system used to clean-up the auxiliary building water. The radioactivity level of some of these EPICOR II liners is 1300 curies per container. These wastes may be disposed of in an intermediate depth burial (10 to 20 meter depth) facility. The proposed container design requirements are directed to ensure isolation of the waste and protection of the public health and safety. (ERA citation 06:020687)
