WASTE MANAGEMENT GENERAL INFORMATION Managing nuclear waste : a long process CHARACTERIZATION ANDRA Waste acceptance Packaging /Transport Disposal on repository Characterization : Getting a radiological inventory and knowledge of your waste Activation Contamination Chemical composition and neutron flux Modelisation (tools) Measurements Samples Samples are the first step to evacuate your waste Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 6
7 4. AN ATYPICAL PROJECT A. Sampling strategy Two main objectives : 1. Build the radiological inventory Core reactor : activation and contamination Smears surfacic contamination Metallic samples Chemical composition of steels (for activation calculations) 2. Confirm the mechanical characteristics of the metallic structure «Massive» metallic samples (up to 6 kg) The mechanical characteristics and level of corrosion and irradiation metal structures Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 7
8 4. AN ATYPICAL PROJECT B. Preparatory works Before intervention : Identification and localisation of the differents steels based on the knowledge of the steels : Identification of those which need samples Pre-positionning of samples and therefore identification of new sampler machines Machines processing and tests Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 8
9 4. AN ATYPICAL PROJET C. Working conditions Limited duration of the interventions Max duration 1h45 due to temperature conditions ( C) First risk of accident : faintness Working clothes Suits : Various suits tested due to sweating issues Respiratory protection devices Powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus to prevent from internal contamination 5 pairs of gloves! 2 Copyright Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 9
10 4. AN ATYPICAL PROJECT D. Results «MASSIVES» METALLIC SAMPLES 5/6 days / sample SMEARS : Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 10
11 4. AN ATYPICAL PROJECT D. Results The table below shows the number of each sample Type Number of samples for each reactor Smear 106 Metallic samples 83 Duration (from studies to intervention on site) : 27 months Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 11
12 4. AN ATYPICAL PROJECT D. Analysis getting the radiological inventory In order to get the composition of steels, the following analysis will be done on µ-core : Analysis of trace elements with ICP/MS Smears : radiological analysis Gamma spectrometry Gross alpha and gross beta Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 12
13 4. AN ATYPICAL PROJECT D. Analysis verification of holding structures In order to prove the holding of the reactor, 2 sets of analysis were done on massive metallic samples: 1. Corrosion : Visual examinations, Metallographic examinations, Microscope investigations to determine the corrosion thickness 2. Mechanical characteristics Tenacity values, Traction tests, Resilience tests, Graphite Gas reactors : from sampling strategy to operating conditions 2016/06/28 13
14 5. CONCLUSION 1. Feedback : 1. Hard working conditions : 1. Temperature 2. Suits 2. Samples : 1. Enable to check the structure, 2. Will give the radiological inventory (in progress) Dismantling is not only about removing the equipements it s also about disposing of the radiological waste and the first step is to know the radiological inventory meaning caracterizing by sampling!
