Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the safe storage of dangerous material that is hazardous to humans and / or the environment, in particular radioactive waste and other radiation-active waste material, toxins and chemical and pharmaceutical waste that is harmful to humans and / or the environment.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for the safe storage of dangerous material which is dangerous to humans and / or the environment, in particular radioactive waste and other radiation-active material, toxic substances and other chemical waste or pharmaceutical waste which is harmful to the environment enables and avoids the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • the method according to the invention enables safe handling and storage of the dangerous material and its later reuse as a source of raw materials.
  • the encased containers can be placed on pallets in the underground gallery, and at least the part of the gallery in which the dangerous material is stored can be filled with a filling compound that essentially fills all cavities and increases storage security.
  • the part of the gallery in which the dangerous material is stored can be closed by means of a wall, preferably a reinforced concrete wall, which preferably has at least one opening through which at least a part of the filling compound filling the cavities and increasing the security of the storage is introduced into the part of the gallery to be closed, and that this opening or openings is or are closed after the aforementioned filling compound has been introduced.
  • a wall preferably a reinforced concrete wall, which preferably has at least one opening through which at least a part of the filling compound filling the cavities and increasing the security of the storage is introduced into the part of the gallery to be closed, and that this opening or openings is or are closed after the aforementioned filling compound has been introduced.
  • the invention comprises a protective cover suitable for the above-mentioned method, which is characterized in that the interior of the protective cover is dimensioned so large that after the container containing the dangerous material has been introduced between the container and the inner wall of the protective cover, an intermediate space essentially surrounding the container remains in which, if necessary, an interstice filling which increases safety during handling and / or storage can be introduced, and that spacers are provided which ensure a desired distance of the container from the inner wall of the protective cover.
  • a radiation protection, insulating and / or sealing compound, compressed air and / or compressed gas is preferably used as a space filling.
  • the protective cover according to the invention is designed as a prefabricated, preferably two-part hollow body, which consists of two screwable halves, and in particular made of highly resistant ceramic, glass, e.g. Lead or quartz glass, multilayered and reinforced by means of fibers and / or vinyl interlayers. It can also be advantageous to manufacture the protective cover according to the invention from plastic, preferably in multiple layers, reinforced by means of fibers and / or reinforcing layers.
  • spaced rings can be used as spacers, which can be pushed onto the barrel from the front sides of the barrel until they rest against a barrel ring.
  • the present invention enables storage that allows the later use of the stored material as a raw material source.
  • the majority of the current waste which is primarily responsible for the destruction of vital human resources, is basically not waste in the conventional sense, but depending on the progress of research and development, again as raw materials for future products Can be used if they are stored according to the inventive method.
  • the invention permits earthquake and catastrophe-proof storage, thus safe for us and our descendants, in a gallery or on the sea floor.
  • the costs are in no way higher than the current costs of "disposal".
  • a decommissioned coal or other mine can be used to store the waste, which is then used as a deposit for future raw materials.
  • Such bearings have many advantages. Unemployment / emigration rates are highest in these areas. Mine and underground workers are known. The tunnels are often very deep, so that possible groundwater contamination can be excluded. Additional radiation protection is also guaranteed. Although closed, it can be expected that most tunnels will still be accessible or can be made accessible with less effort and less costs than for a new construction. Road and rail connections are available. By gradually filling and securing the tunnels, future subsidence and the associated damage are avoided.
  • Standardized 50 kg barrels will preferably be used for both chemical and radioactive waste or future raw materials.
  • Two types of barrels can be provided, for solids with a removable lid ring with closure and for liquid ones Fabrics with a very flat fill valve. Both barrels should preferably no longer be opened after the filling process has ended.
  • the producer of the waste should be required to give precise chemical names of its waste. Depending on the hazard class, he then receives the appropriate barrels coated on the inside. Furthermore, depending on the hazard class and product, the barrels should be given a number code and the corresponding internal protective coatings on the barrels should be clearly defined. This code numbers should by all parties to storage and tunnels - used numbering.
  • the barrels are preferably provided with a lead film attached to the inside, which can be reinforced by means of epoxy resin compounds according to DE-OS 1801578 and DE-OS 2134811 in order to prevent pressure points.
  • these barrels have a lid ring closure to prevent unauthorized opening by unauthorized persons.
  • tunnels On the basis of the tunnel and soil procurement plans, those tunnels should be identified and divided into which the dangerous and less dangerous materials are to be placed for final storage. These tunnels are recorded on the map and are given the same code number as the code number on the barrels that are stored there. In this way, warehouses are always made of the same material, so that when the time comes that the stored waste should in turn be used as new raw materials, these warehouses can be cleared and used for new waste products.
  • valve on the drums with liquid waste is pulled out using a special tool, liquid is removed and a new valve is inserted.
  • the seal consists of prefabricated ceramic, glass or plastic containers, the latter made of plexiglass in layers, possibly vinyl reinforced or polyester compounds.
  • the thread of the screw connection of the two halves of the protective cover should be chosen to be long enough to compensate for the tolerances in the dimensions of the barrels or the interior of the protective cover.
  • valve through which compressed air can be introduced into the barrels with chemical content or the insulating material for the barrels with uranium or radiation waste.
  • the disposal plant Special containers (20 ft) provided for transportation. Until they are sealed by the waste disposal facility, the waste remains under guard in these special containers, even on the disposal site.
  • 20 ft container consists of the conventional construction. The outside must be kept neutral. The inside consists of a steel cladding, for example V2a steel, on which a lead foil is glued using epoxy resin. The exposed surface of the lead foil is coated with epoxy resin in order to prevent decomposition and damage to the lead foil.
  • the air present in the interstice can either be sucked off via the valve for filling the filling compound or an additional ventilation valve can be provided through which the air can escape when the filling compound is filled in.
  • the valves are sealed tight after the space has been filled.
  • the drums which are now prepared and marked with code numbers, are separated according to the hazard class and placed in tunnels, each of which has the same code number.
  • the following measures are necessary: In the individual tunnels there should always be one after stacking a certain number of barrels reinforced concrete protective wall. Openings for the passage of a pressure hose are left in this wall. After the concrete wall has hardened, concrete mixture is then injected under pressure through the openings which are kept free, filling up all cavities and thus ensuring total solidification of the stud is achieved.
  • This process additionally protects uranium waste against theft and terrorist attacks.
  • the cylindrical protective cover is generally designated 1 and consists of the two halves 2 and 3, which can be screwed together by means of a thread 4.
  • the protective cover half 2 is provided with a valve 5.
  • a cylindrical barrel 6 with two barrel hoops 8 is arranged inside the protective cover, with an intermediate space 10 surrounding the barrel on all sides, which is fixed in position within the protective cover by means of two spacer rings 12.
  • the spacer rings 12 are pushed over the ends of the barrel 6 and lie on the one hand on the barrel hoops 8 and on the other hand on annular contact surfaces 14 of the protective cover, which are formed in that the interior of the protective cover has a larger diameter in its central region than in the region of the two Has end faces. Openings 16 of the rings 12 enable the outer interstice parts to be filled.
  • the protective cover as a one-piece hollow cylinder to which flat covers are attached, e.g. are welded on.
  • the material could also be entered directly into the protective cover, i.e. without an inner container.
