Abstract
Ein Doppelbehältersystem zum Transport und zur Lagerung von radioaktiven Abfällen besteht aus einem inneren La gerbehälter aus Stahl für den gasdichten Einschluß des zu lagernden radioaktiven Materials und einem äußeren Abschirmbehälter, der die erforderliche Abschirmung und mechanische Sicherheit bei Handhabung und Transport sicherstellt. Im Ringspalt zwischen äußerem Abschirmbe hälter und innerem Lagerbehälter ist eine Neutronenmo deratorschicht aus wasserstoffhaltigem Material, vor zugsweise Polyäthylen, vorhanden. Um eine gute Abschir mung bei gleichzeitig sehr guter Wärmeleitung von innen nach außen zu erreichen, besteht die Moderatorschicht (41) aus einzelnen übereinandergestapelten Ringen (43) aus Polyäthylen. Zwischen zwei Polyäthylenringen (43) ist jeweils ein H-Profilring (45) aus einem wär meleitenden metallischen Werkstoff angeordnet. Die Schenkel (49) des H-Profilringes (45) umfassen die Sei ten der beiden Polyäthylenringe (43) zur Fixierung. A double container system for transport and storage of radioactive waste consists of an inner layer Steel container for the gas-tight enclosure of the radioactive material to be stored and an external one Shielding container that has the necessary shielding and mechanical safety during handling and transport ensures. In the annular gap between the outer shield container and inner storage container is a neutron mo derator layer made of hydrogen-containing material, before preferably polyethylene, available. For good shielding tion with very good heat conduction from the inside To reach the outside, there is the moderator layer (41) from individual stacked rings (43) made of polyethylene. Between two polyethylene rings (43) is an H-profile ring (45) from a war arranged conductive metal material. The Legs (49) of the H-profile ring (45) encompass the screen ten of the two polyethylene rings (43) for fixation.
