Safe management of radioactive waste is challenging to waste producers and waste management organisations. Deployment of thermal treatment technologies can provide significant improvements: volume reduction, waste passivation, organics destruction, safety demonstration facilitation, etc. The EC-funded THERAMIN project enables an EU-wide strategic review and assessment of the value of thermal treatment technologies applicable to Low and Intermediate Level waste streams (ion exchange media, soft operational waste, sludges, organic waste, and liquids). THERAMIN compiles an EU-wide database of wastes, which could be treated by thermal technologies and documents available thermal technologies. Applicability and benefits of technologies to the identified waste streams will be evaluated through full-scale demonstration tests by project partners. Safety case implications will also be assessed through the study of the disposability of thermally treated waste products. This paper will communicate the strategic aims of the ongoing project and highlight some key findings and results achieved to date.
放射性废物的安全管理对废物产生者和废物管理机构来说是一个挑战。热处理技术的部署可以提供显著的改进:体积减少,废物钝化,有机物破坏,安全示范便利化等。THERAMIN项目由欧盟资助,在欧盟范围内对适用于低水平和中等水平废物流(离子交换介质、软操作废物、污泥、有机废物和液体)的热处理技术的价值进行战略审查和评估。THERAMIN编制了一个全欧盟范围的废物数据库,这些废物可以用热技术处理,并记录了现有的热技术。项目伙伴将通过全面示范试验来评价技术对已确定废物流的适用性和效益。还将通过研究热处理废物的可处置性来评估安全案例的影响。本文将传达正在进行的项目的战略目标,并强调迄今为止取得的一些关键发现和成果。

Mindful of the challenges to long-term operation, especially the severe safety and environmental consequences shown through historical nuclear power plant accidents (e.g. Fukoshima, Chernobyl, etc), it is imperative that European research and innovation focuses on demonstrating reliable long-term operation. Five examples of European Commission supported projects meeting such objectives are INCEFA+, SOTERIA, ATLAS+, MEACTOS and NUGENIA+. There are economies of scale within, and synergies across these projects which enable further advantage to be gained. Additionally, since researchers are well engaged internationally, this brings into European Organisations latest developments in understanding from further afield (e.g. USA, Japan), further enabling safety assurance advances, and enabling work overseas to be influenced consistent with European requirements. Through examples, this paper provides evidence of the advances claimed, whilst being careful to also declare areas of interest for which further work is still a priority.
考虑到长期运行的挑战,特别是历史核电站事故(如福岛、切尔诺贝利等)所显示的严重安全和环境后果,欧洲的研究和创新必须集中在证明可靠的长期运行上。欧洲委员会支持的满足这些目标的五个项目是INCEFA+、SOTERIA、ATLAS+、MEACTOS和NUGENIA+。这些项目之间存在规模经济效应和协同效应,可以进一步获得优势。此外,由于研究人员在国际上很好地参与,这将使欧洲组织从更远的地方(例如美国,日本)了解最新的发展,进一步促进安全保证的进步,并使海外工作能够受到符合欧洲要求的影响。通过实例,本文提供了所声称的进步的证据,同时也小心地声明了进一步工作仍然是优先考虑的兴趣领域。

Within the H2020 INSIDER project, the main objective of work package 3 (WP3) is to draft a sampling guide for initial nuclear site characterization in constraint environments, before decommissioning, based on a statistical approach. This paper is dedicated to the sampling strategy for use case 3 (UC3) about contaminated soils, in the context of post-incidental remediation of a site. For this use case, the constraint environment comes from the difficulty to collect samples beneath a building on the one hand and the fact that samples were collected in the past with no possibility for additional samples. This task has been initiated by gathering prior knowledge for the contaminated site and analysing the available dataset (historical assessment + available data from non-destructive and destructive analyses).
在H2020 INSIDER项目中,工作包3 (WP3)的主要目标是根据统计方法起草一份抽样指南,用于退役前约束环境下的初始核场地表征。本文致力于用例3 (UC3)关于污染土壤的采样策略,在场地事故后修复的背景下。对于这个用例,约束环境一方面来自于在建筑物下面收集样本的困难,另一方面来自于过去收集的样本没有附加样本的可能性这一事实。这项任务是通过收集污染场地的先验知识和分析可用数据集(历史评估+非破坏性和破坏性分析的可用数据)来启动的。

The paper shows capabilities of thorium-lead fuel assembly for design of irradiation experiments on ThO2 and natural UO2 fuel samples using radioisotope neutron source. The main purpose of the current analysis was to determine the irradiation environment in the samples, especially: neutron spectrum, power, activity, reaction rates, production of 233Pa and 239Np as well as breeding of 233U and 239Pu. An advanced three-dimensional numerical model for Monte Carlo radiation transport and burnup simulations was developed using the Monte Carlo Continuous Energy Burnup Code (MCB). The versatility of the assembly gives a perfect opportunity to perform many irradiation experiments for R&D on the thorium and uranium fuel cycle in a different material and geometrical environments.

Corrosion products are generated in the primary circuit during normal operation and are activated in the core. Those activated corrosion products, mainly 58 Co and 60 Co (coming respectively from the activation of 58 Ni and 59 Co), are then transported by the primary fluid and deposited on the out-of-flux surfaces (steam generators, primary coolant pipes…). To minimize this radioactive contamination, one needs to understand the behavior of corrosion products by carrying out measurements in PWRs and test loops combined with a reactor contamination assessment code named OSCAR. The aim of this article is to evaluate the influence of the change in the Dissolved Hydrogen (DH) concentration on the contamination of the primary loops of DOEL-4 PWR, a Belgian unit. After the description of the principle of the OSCAR V1.3 code, its use is illustrated with the simulation of DOEL-4. Finally, those calculations are compared to autoclave experiments called DUPLEX with thermodynamic and chemical conditions closed to those observed in PWRs. OSCAR V1.3 calculations show that an increase in the DH concentration results in a decrease in 58 Co surface activities. These results are consistent with those from the DUPLEX experiments. Finally, an increase of the DH concentration is then recommended in operating PWRs to reduce the 58 Co surface contamination.
腐蚀产物在一次回路正常运行时产生,并在铁芯中被激活。这些活化的腐蚀产物,主要是58 Co和60 Co(分别来自58 Ni和59 Co的活化),然后由一次流体输送并沉积在通量外表面(蒸汽发生器、一次冷却剂管道等)。为了最大限度地减少这种放射性污染,人们需要通过在压水堆和测试回路中进行测量来了解腐蚀产物的行为,并结合反应堆污染评估代码OSCAR。本文的目的是评估溶解氢(DH)浓度的变化对比利时DOEL-4压水堆一次回路污染的影响。在介绍了OSCAR V1.3代码的工作原理后,通过对DOEL-4的仿真说明了它的使用方法。最后,将这些计算结果与称为DUPLEX的高压灭菌器实验进行比较,该实验的热力学和化学条件与在压水堆中观察到的条件接近。OSCAR V1.3计算表明,DH浓度的增加导致58 Co表面活性的降低。这些结果与DUPLEX实验结果一致。最后,建议在运行的压水堆中增加DH浓度,以减少58 Co的表面污染。

Within the H2020 INSIDER project, the main objective of work package 3 (WP3) is to draft a sampling guide for initial nuclear site characterization in constraint environments, before decommissioning, based on a statistical approach. The second task of WP3 aims at developing a strategy for sampling in the field of initial nuclear site characterization in view of decommissioning, with the most important goal to guide the end user to appropriate statistical methods (including, but not limited to those identified during the first overview task) to use for data analysis and sampling design. To aid the end user in applying this strategy, a user-friendly application for guiding the end user through the contents of the strategy and the initial characterization process is also developed.

In this work, two different thermodynamic softwares, ANGE using the TBASE database, and OPENCALPHAD using the TAF-ID (Thermodynamics of Advanced Fuels – International Database), have been integrated into the GERMINAL V2 fuel performance code (of the PLEIADES platform) in order to evaluate the chemical state of (U, Pu)O2 fuel and fission products in sodium cooled fast reactors. A model to calculate the composition and the thickness of the “Joint-Oxyde Gaine” (JOG) fission product layer in the fuel-clad gap has been developed. Five fuel pins with a final burnup ranging between 3.8 and 13.4% FIMA (Fissions per Initial Metal Atom) have been simulated, and the calculated width of the fission product layer have been compared with post irradiation examinations. The two different thermodynamic softwares have been compared in terms of computation time and predicted fuel-to-clad gap chemistry. The main elements and phases encountered in the fission productlayer have been identified, and the impact of the changing oxygen potential has been explored.

Within the Euratom research and training program 2014–2018, three projects aiming at securing the fuel supply for European power and research reactors have been funded. Those three projects address the potential weaknesses – supplier diversity, provision of enriched fissile material – associated with the furbishing of nuclear fuels. First, the ESSANUF project, now terminated, resulted in the design and licensing of a fuel element for VVER-440 nuclear power plant manufactured by Westinghouse. The HERACLES-CP project aimed at preparing the conversion of high performance research reactor to low enriched uranium fuels by exploring fuels based on uranium-molybdenium.

在欧洲原子能机构2014-2018年的研究和培训计划中,三个旨在确保欧洲电力和研究堆燃料供应的项目已获得资助。这三个项目解决了与核燃料翻新有关的潜在弱点- -供应商多样化、提供浓缩裂变材料。首先,现已终止的ESSANUF项目导致了西屋公司制造的VVER-440核电站燃料元件的设计和许可。HERACLES-CP项目旨在通过探索基于铀钼的燃料,准备将高性能研究反应堆转化为低浓缩铀燃料。最后,LEU-FOREvER继续在HERACLES-CP中开展的工作,通过对高密度硅化燃料的探索来完成这项工作,包括苏联设计的欧洲中功率研究堆燃料供应商的多样化。本文介绍了该项目的目标、结构和取得的成果。

In the present work the new data on correlation and covariance matrices have been calculated for all recommended data on temporal parameters of delayed neutrons in 6- and 8-group models. The method for producing the correlation and covariance data for the temporal DN parameters is described. The table of changes is listed in the text. Some examples of the data generated on basis of experimental DN decay curves (for IPPE data) and data generated on the basis of decay curves restored using temporal parameters (for works of another authors) are listed too.
