Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multilayered transport and storage container for the long-term storage of radioactive waste, in particular spent fuel elements, in suitable geological formations.
  • spent fuel elements are processed after temporary storage in the water basin either immediately or after a limited further interim storage.
  • the nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel are separated from the fission products and the back B rennstoffnik- running supplied.
  • the fission products are conditioned by known methods, usually using large amounts of valuable materials, such as lead and copper, and in practical geological formations they are virtually no longer removable.
  • Containers made of alloyed and unalloyed steel, copper and corundum are proposed as packaging for radioactive materials and irradiated fuel elements.
  • the steel containers are either not sufficiently corrosion-resistant or, like copper, are very expensive.
  • Corundum containers are generally suitable, but the experience required for their manufacture is lacking.
  • the fuel elements for packaging would have to be disassembled into small corundum containers for manufacturing reasons, which is associated with considerable effort.
  • Such containers only partially meet the conditions of long-term storage, such as tight containment at the pressures and temperatures that occur, and corrosion against brine, or they must be made very thick-walled.
  • they are usually not suitable as a transport container at the same time, so that the waste has to be reloaded from the transport container into the final storage container at considerable expense.
  • the container consists of two or more layers of different metals or metal alloys, which become more and more noble (positive) from outside to inside in the electrochemical voltage series. This ensures that even if there is a partial corrosive breakthrough through the outer layer, the next inner layer can only be attacked when the outer layer has completely dissolved. This means that the resistance time value can be calculated and the service life against corrosion is retained even in the event of unforeseeable malfunctions.
  • the time for the dissolution of the second jacket can also be calculated. Based on the removal rates per time and area, the service life of the outer jacket in a certain corrosive medium can be calculated, as can the service life of the second jacket and so on.
  • the outer jacket from relatively inexpensive material such as iron; To produce graphite cast iron to give the container the necessary rigidity for the 9 m drop test for its suitability as a transport container.
  • the repository container consists of the outer jacket (1) with a welded-on or joined lid (5). Alloyed cast iron, preferably cast iron, is used as the material.
  • the first inner jacket (2) located in this outer container consists of nickel or a nickel alloy, which is more noble in the electrochemical series than the outer jacket (1). Too large a potential gap is not desirable so as not to accelerate the dissolution of the outer jacket too much in the event of local element formation.
  • the second inner container (3) must again be nobler in material than the first inner jacket (2). Nickel-copper alloys are advantageously used here.
  • the interior (4) is filled with spent fuel or highly active waste. All three container layers are self-contained, which can be done, for example, by welding.
  • the electrochemical potentials of the adjacent layers are not too far apart. They are preferably not more than 50 to 500 m V apart.
  • the container with further linings inside or on the surface of the container, or to insert an inner container made of a suitable material. For example, it is possible to insert a monolithic graphite block as an inner container.
  • the layer thicknesses of the outer layers are in the range of 5 to 20 cm, those of the other noble layers in the range of 5 to 50 mm.
  • Bronzes, in particular tin-rich ones, have proven to be corrosion-resistant materials.
  • alloy components and their effects on the potentials, but also on the corrosion behavior, such as e.g. Crevice corrosion, to be taken into account When determining the order of the metal layers according to the invention, alloy components and their effects on the potentials, but also on the corrosion behavior, such as e.g. Crevice corrosion, to be taken into account.
