1. Garching, January 17th, 2006: L. Ooms EFDA Technology Workprogramme 2005 Activities 2005-2006 Field: Safety and Environment Task Area: Waste management Kick off Meeting TW5-TSW-001

2. Kick off Meeting TW5-TSW-001-D1.2: Define the activity limits for the dismantling, melting, fabrication or reuse and waste. TW5-TSW-001-D4: Define the categories of materials based on the different paths in the material cycle of a fusion reactor. TW5-TSW-001-D5: Define R&D.

3. TW5-TSW-001-D1.2 Define the activity limits for the dismantling, melting, fabrication or reuse and waste. Previous studies Experience in dismantling a fission reactor Melting facilities for materials of fission reactors Next step What’s possible with fusion materials

4. TW5-TSW-001-D1.2 Input information Available information Nuclear melting facilities Dismantling projects Experience in remote handling Regulations for treatment, transport, waste, … of radioactive materials

5. TW5-TSW-001-D1.2 Objectives The activity limits for fusion materials will let us: Quantify the decay Time Define the Range of activities which can be treated Waste production during recycling: what to do with it Consequences for the recycling strategy Planning End of work mid of June 2006 Final report end of June 2006

6. TW5-TSW-001-D4 Define the categories of materials based on the different paths in the material cycle of a fusion reactor. Previous studies Categories based on dose rate (CRM, SRM, …) Next step Categorisation based on the different paths in the material cycle.

7. TW5-TSW-001-D4 Input information TW5-TSW-001-D1.1 to D1.3, information regarding materials involved, dose rate, masses, decay time, … Material flow management at BR3 during dismantling. Eurofer, Tungsten, Beryllium, … specialists at SCK

8. TW5-TSW-001-D4 Objectives Make an overview of material categories based on: Materials to be recycled Recycling paths Economical factors Material availability Planning Start of work june 2006 End of work mid of October 2006 Final report end of October 2006

9. TW5-TSW-001-D5 Define R&D. Input information Previous documents Findings / open questions in tasks: TW5-TSW-001-D1.1 to D1.5: TW5-TSW-001-D4.

10. TW5-TSW-001-D5 Objectives Pin point the difficulties in the recycling process encountered during the different studies. Define possible R&D programs Indicate other techniques than melting Planning Start of work February 2006 End of work mid of October 2006 Final report end of October 2006
