Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt International Supply Chain Case Study Supply Chain Why process abroad? Why metal melt? Lead transport and melting case study
4
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Supply Chain NDA (UK) – Ultimate Customer BNG Sellafield Ltd (UK) - Customer Studsvik (Sweden with UK subsidiary)– Main contractor MHF Logistical Solutions (USA) - Subcontractor –MHFLS chosen for their core competence in packaging and bulk transport of radioactive material

Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Studsvik Studsvik is a leading nuclear services organisation with 1300 employees worldwide and sales of £100M+ per annum Dedicated decontamination and melting facility in Nyköping, Sweden To date processed in excess 15,000 tonnes of metal Nuclear site license under Swedish regulators

Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Studsvik site Deep sea harbour Melting facility Incineration facility ILW facility
7
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Why process abroad? No current facilities in UK that can process metal via melting Currently around five melting facilities abroad To conduct melting trials a need to engage foreign companies Proven technology New Defra LLW policy with new policy on import and export NDA strategic BPEO to use overseas treatment facilities
8
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Why melting? Acts as an effective decontamination process for most metals and associated radionuclide contamination Achieves complete volume reduction of the material Homogenises the metal for robust characterisation Provides an opportunity for re-use and recycling of valuable material
9
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Metal melting by recycling The Studsvik Treatment Concept is based on recycling the treated material and minimising the volume of contaminated material that is returned to the customer Typically >95% of the incoming material to Studsvik is recycled, for lead up to 97% is recycled Recycling 1 tonne of steel saves: 1.5t iron ore 0.5t coal 1.3t solid waste Water use 60% less Emissions 86% less Energy 75% less
10
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead melting trial Customer sourced candidate material for melting Waste characterisation of the material Package assessment and package approval Transfrontier shipment documentation preparation Letter of acceptance for the treatment of the lead
11
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead melting trial Loading of the lead –Delivery of the containers to Sellafield –Loading of the lead in the packages –Securing of the packages –Preparation of transportation paperwork

Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead Melting Trial
13
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead Melting Trial Transport of the lead packages Notification to MHFLS and Studsvik regarding transports Transport by Road and Sea
14
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead melting trial Arrival of material at site Unloading of material Sorting of material Size reduction Melting Analysis of melted material Analysis of secondary waste
15
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead Melting Trial Assessment Segmentation Regulatory Compliance Transport Melting Measurement Ingots Secondary LLW
16
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead Melting Trial Release of ingots for re-melting is made in accordance with the European Commission’s Recommendations in RP89 Network of metal producers in Sweden familiar with the ingots as a feedstock Secondary wastes (slag, blasting residues, filter dust) are conditioned, packaged and returned to the country of origin for disposal
17
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Lead Melting Trial Currently First and Second Shipment successfully delivered First shipment of lead melted successfully with second shipment melting currently being processed at facility BNG/Studsvik/MHFLS preparing for third shipment Teamwork built on the core competences of the individual companies
18
Slide title 36 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2 20 pt Summary Proven technology Supply chain built on core competences of companies Successful trial melt Further scope for working together
