本発明は、放射性廃棄物、特に使用ずみ燃料要素を適当

に施された保護層とから成る容器に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a container body and an outer surface for long-term storage of radioactive waste, particularly spent fuel elements, in a suitable geological formation.
and a protective layer applied to the container.

能に最終貯蔵される。In this case, the nuclear fuel and the parent material are separated from the fission products and fed back into the fuel cycle. The fission products are conditioned according to known methods using large quantities of materials, such as lead and copper, and are finally stored in suitable geological formations in a virtually irretrievable manner.

度に低下する。Furthermore, the irradiated fuel element was not post-treated in the near term, but the fuel and parent material present in the fuel element were abandoned for the time being and the fuel element was allowed to sedate for a period of time in a reservoir configured for it. It may also be conceivable to take it out again later, if necessary.

0). The storage period can be from several generations to several thousand years, during which the dangerous level of the radioactive inventory decreases significantly during this period, depending on the known physical laws and in accordance with its composition.

べきである前記形式の長期間貯蔵のだめに適当な容器に

。更に、困難なことに、容器貯蔵所は接近困難であるべ
きであり、従って監視法には限度がある。Containers suitable for long-term storage containers of this type, which should have a service life several times longer than known transport and storage containers, have special demands due to the variable storage times. Furthermore, the container storage must be difficult to access and thus monitoring methods are limited.
照射ずみ燃料要素を金属又はコンクリートから成る容器
を用いて塩、砂又は岩の洞穴に貯蔵すミという、一部は
極めて費用のかかる方法が公知である。Some very expensive methods are known for storing irradiated fuel elements in salt, sand or rock caves using containers made of metal or concrete.

めには燃料要素を粉砕する必要があり。Containers made of alloyed and unalloyed steel, copper and corundum have been proposed as packaging devices for radioactive materials and irradiated fuel elements. Containers made of steel are not sufficiently corrosion resistant and containers made of random material, although suitable in principle, lack the experience necessary to manufacture them. Additionally, manufacturing requirements require that the fuel element be crushed for packaging into small corundum containers.

換えねばならない。This is associated with significant costs. Containers of this type must only partially satisfy the conditions of long-term storage, such as tightness at the pressures and temperatures that may occur and corrosion resistance against salt water, or must be constructed with a significant wall thickness. be. Moreover, these containers are often unsuitable for simultaneous use as transport containers, so that the waste must be transferred from the transport container to the final storage container at great expense.

が進行することがある。A final storage container for spent fuel has also been proposed consisting of alloyed and unalloyed steel with a plated protective layer selected on the basis of an electrochemical voltage sequence. These known externally applied protective layers are often sensitive to mechanical loads, can be partially destroyed and, in the event of an accident, corrosion starts from the points of damage. It may progress.

A storage medium for the long-term storage of radioactive waste, especially spent fuel elements, in suitable geological formations that has limited corrosion resistance and protection against mechanical damage and prevents leakage of fission products from the final storage container. The aim was to provide containers for

ト合成ゴムを使用することもできる。According to the invention, the protective layer consists of a well-adhering plastic, in which is embedded a filler which is swellable in the presence of water and has ion-exchangeable and adsorptive properties. This is solved by the fact that In particular, sheet silicates of the montmorillonite type have proven suitable as fillers. For this purpose it has been found to be advantageous to use bentonite, and polyurethane has proven particularly suitable as plastic component. However, as a plastic component, e.g. It is also possible to use litertrafluoroethylene, polycarbonate, Evoquin resin, phenol formaldehyde F resin or acrylate synthetic rubber.

。同時に、このポリウレタン内で事故が生じた際に生じ
得るような塩水に対して絶対的に耐食性である。After reacting on the surface, the container has uniform mechanical stability of the bentonite, thus reliably preventing damage to the container body. At the same time, it is absolutely corrosion-resistant against salt water, which can occur in the event of an accident within this polyurethane.

終貯蔵容器から分裂生成物が漏えいするのを阻止する。Bentonite, which is advantageously contained as a filler in the polyurethane, provides additional protection and forms a secondary barrier. If the plastic layer is damaged 1, for example if cracks occur, the filler is exposed. It swells to 4-7 times its volume in the presence of water, thus resealing the cracks that have formed. Furthermore, the phyllosilicate filling prevents the leakage of fission products from a damaged final storage vessel.
