Time Scale Storage after irradiation Recycling of components separation recycling of materials refabrication and testing Storage awaiting reuse Reuse Stage 1: Temporary storage over a time period of maximum 5 years. The storage will be performed in the fusion plant and its major goal is to reduce the dose rate with 1 order of magnitude. Stage 2: Interim storage over a period of 100 years. The major goal for this on site storage is to reduce the dose rate (a few orders of magnitude) in order to perform off-site transportation. Stage 3: Final disposal (off site). Reference: A. Natalizio (ENSEC); In-vessel component storage, EFDA Task TW2-TRP-PPCS17 – Deliverable 4, dd Separation & recycling of materials (1 year). Refabrication & testing (1 to 2 years) Replacement scheme
Simulation of limits for HOR Limits defined in the past: 1000 Gq/g => 4 µSv/h => 6,4 mSv/y 10 µSv/h => 16 mSv/y (full exposure = 1600 h) Limits are very conservative (they meet the ICRP norm for the operators) The goal must not be to increase the limits (ALARA) A simulation with a reduced exposure confirms that materials must not be classified immediately in remote handling recycling if one applies: Shielding Reduced exposure Other measures to reduce the exposure of the operators First conclusion: 1.The limit for Hands On Recycling has to be kept at 10 µSv/h 2.Materials with a dose rate above 10µSv/h must not directly be classified as remote recycling
Simulation of limits for HOR Other remarks: 1.Using dose rates for limits between categories starting from HOR is much more logical than using specific activities. 2.On the contrary clearance based on 1 µSv/h has no sense, since pure beta-emitting isotopes can still exceed clearance limits. Therefore the principle of clearance index should be applied for those materials 3.Confinement of the workspace is inevitable, due to the Tokamak dust, Tritium…)
Remote Handling Facilities ► Dose rates of fusion components are acceptable for existing facilities ► The 5 years of temporary storage will reduce the dose rates of the components. ► But! What about build up after a second irradiation cycle ► The needed services are very specialised (testing and fabrication), precision ± 10 µm, ► Up to now only simple products were fabricated (melting) ► Confinement is unavoidable to protect the operators from internal contamination
Fusion classification
New proposal for Classification SRM is subdivided into two groups Hands on recycling (dose rate up to 10 µSv/h) Shielded recycling (dose rate between 10 µSv/h and 2 mSv/h) CRM + PDW becomes one group Remote Recycling (above 2 mSv/h) NAW (Clearance) is not defined by the dose rate of the materials but by the Clearance index. Clearance Ic < 1
