Pierre SARDAIN 1 Power Plant Conceptual Study Approach to wastes management

Pierre SARDAIN 2 PPCS: Categorisation of active material Mass of activated materials (PPCS model AB): tonsMass of activated materials (PPCS model AB): tons Categorisation based on the contact dose rate, the heat production and the clearance indexCategorisation based on the contact dose rate, the heat production and the clearance index No permanent disposal waste (20 mSvh -1, 10 Wm -3 ) after 100 years if adequate recycling is implementedNo permanent disposal waste (20 mSvh -1, 10 Wm -3 ) after 100 years if adequate recycling is implemented

Pierre SARDAIN 3 PPCS: Wastes issues The feasibility of recycling should be demonstratedThe feasibility of recycling should be demonstrated –On going action: TW5-TSW-001 –Detritiation is needed before implementing recycling If recycling should not considered, the wastes would have to be buried in a repositoryIf recycling should not considered, the wastes would have to be buried in a repository –The type of repository would depend on the nuclides contained in the materials and the local regulations –In particular, detritiation should be needed in order to meet the acceptance limits of the repositories Repository Type of wastes Kind of repository T limit (Bq/kg) El Cabril (Spain) Low and intermediate level Shallow engineered 1 E9 CSA (France) Low and intermediate level Shallow engineered 2 E8 Konrad (Germany) Low and intermediate level with low heat generation Deep geological 1 E8 SFR (Sweden) Low and intermediate level Shallow geological 1 E8
