2. Radioactive Waste Management
General approach ESS is adopting to the existing Swedish system.

3. Radioactive Waste Management
Two facilities for treatment of radioactive waste
Waste Building: for all liquid waste, all resins and solid waste with less than 10 mSv/h at the surface.
Active Cells: for solid waste with more than 10 mSv/h at the surface.

4. Radioactive Waste Management
Status:
Waste Building: The preliminary design for the Waste Building (H09) is to be finished within a month.
2017 November 10th preliminary design review (PDR)
2017 Q4 start of the detailed design
2017 Q4 start the procurement of equipment
2018 Q2 start the construction of H09
2019 Q3 construction finished
2019 Q4 installation of non-CF equipment
2020 Q1 start of the testing/trial operation
2020 Q3 H09 in operation
Active Cells: Under construction.
In operation 2021 Q1.

The way forward
September 28th ESS submitted a plan “Action plan for radioactive waste, decommissioning and costs” (ESS ) to The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and it will be presented October 17th.
The Plan is divided into several areas, corresponding to the special conditions given by SSM, and for each area there are deliverables fulfilling the requirements.

8. Radioactive Waste Management
The way forward
Warm LINAC (<75 MeV)
To be reported to SSM
Considerations to decommissioning in the design of the facility
Storage of radioactive substances and radioactive waste
Radiological environmental impact assessments for events in the waste facility
Waste management plan for Warm LINAC
Transport plan for Warm LINAC
Preparations at site
Temporary solutions for handling potential radioactive waste. According to Accelerator, all activated components is to be reused and nothing will be classified as waste.

9. Radioactive Waste Management
The way forward
Cold LINAC (<570 MeV) (Beam on dump)
To be reported to SSM
A description of implemented emission control solutions, which should include an account of the waste facility's capacity for treating water from different sources together with a justification for capacity being sufficient for ESS needs.
Waste management plan for Cold LINAC
Transport plan for Cold LINAC

10. Radioactive Waste Management
The way forward
Intentional neutron production (Beam on target)
To be reported to SSM
Preliminary plans for all radioactive waste and agreements with approved waste disposal handlers
Plan for financing, operational and decommissioning
Control of handled waste
Reporting of measures
Determination of radioactive substances in radioactive waste
Register for radioactive waste
Decommissioning plan
Continuous documentation of events during operation
