Abstract

A method of drying transport and/or storage containers with radioactive waste. The container interior is dried by the production of a negative pressure in the container interior. The evaporation rate during drying is ascertained. The residual moisture left in the container interior after a drying time is determined. The negative-pressure drying is carried out until the residual moisture in the container interior is frozen. The residual moisture still left in the container interior is determined from the deviation of the evaporation rate during the freezeing process.

Description of the Invention (,) The present invention relates to a method for transporting and / or drying storage containers containing radioactive waste, which is dried by generating negative pressure inside the container. Inside the container. The evaporation rate during drying can be determined. After drying, the remaining steam remaining inside the container can be determined. The invention also relates to a device for performing this method. The shipping and / or storage containers described above are usually filled with the radioactive fuel elements of a nuclear power plant in a humid state and then dehydrated. Because considerable residual moisture is usually left in the container, especially in the fuel element, the trough must be dried completely. There are specific restrictions on the allowable residual moisture. Container manufacturers at nuclear power plants need to demonstrate that moisture is less than this limit. The drying operation performed is mainly to prevent corrosion in the shipping and / or storage container. In the above-mentioned actually known type and the method on which the present invention is based, negative pressure drying is performed to remove residual moisture from the container. The rate of evaporation can be determined from the rising pressure per unit of time, so for this reason it is necessary to know the volume of the container in which the gas / moisture can be used. After the negative pressure is dried, then use a moisture measurement state (such as a dew point mirror) for at least 6 hours to perform additional measurements to measure the remaining negative pressure in a rather complicated manner. Basically these measurements have been satisfactorily improved, but this known method has certain limitations on negative pressure drying. If the vacuum is not dry enough, the moisture still in the container will freeze or freeze. In the known methods, drying using known evaporation procedures can no longer be estimated, so care must be taken to avoid the cold 'east' of moisture because the moisture pressure is affected by the freezing process. However, if the load is south, and the drying period is too long, due to the fact that the fuel rod section casing is not allowed to swell, negative pressure drying is also limited. Therefore, it is also limited to -4-+ Daiwo standard too Qiao Ning National Standard (CNS) A4 (2ί〇χ297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back of Jing before filling this page)

Description of the invention () The remaining moisture or water in the container is frozen due to evaporation heat removal, and the water vapor pressure side remains fixed. As a result, a stepwise change occurs on the substantially linear curve as described above. The amount of frozen water can be determined from the curve of the evaporation rate, and thus there is reached the amount of residual moisture that still remains inside the container. In detail, the amount of steam released during the cold period can be multiplied by the ratio of heat of evaporation to heat of melting to determine the amount of frozen water. It is within the design concept of the present invention to perform a calibration operation with a test gas flow to measure the evaporation rate 40. It is particularly useful not to know the size of the container used to determine the amount of moisture remaining in the interior of the container.

In order to determine the reference pressure, the recorder begins to draw the pressure Pi and Pπ. Close the valves 18 and 19, and open 阙 20 and ^, then set the flux to Ncm3 / s by the instrument valve 22. Then read the pressure Pπ 'as the reference pressure The value β then closes the valve 2 and opens the valve. 8 '19 ° In order to perform negative pressure drying, the suction line valve is opened. 7. Close the valve 20 at a pressure of 100 hPa. Connect the condenser downstream of the Luke pump 4 5 It is empty at the preset interval, such as several hours. At the pressure Pη = 丨 〇hpa 1 closes the valve 18, 19 JL opens the valve 20. When the pressure Pi S 3hPa or another given time When the limit value (for negative pressure drying) has been exceeded, fill the inside of the container 2 with helium. Therefore, close the suction line valve 17 'and open the valve 11 for the supply line 9 of the helium source 10. The valve 11 remains Keep it open until the container is filled with 100 hPa of helium.

Description of the invention (After that, open the suction line again 17, and then start the negative pressure drying inside the container. ”After about 1 hour of negative pressure drying, the pressure ρπ is specially determined. If this pressure Pπ is greater than the reference pressure value recorded at the beginning, then the inside of the container is filled with helium. As described above, and then performing a negative pressure drying. However, if the pressure PI is less than the reference pressure value determined above, the drying is completed. The suction line valve 17 is closed. Preferably, the supply pipe for the helium gas source i 0 is opened 9's valve 1 1 'until the inside of the container 2 is filled with 100 hPa of helium. --------- Lk— (Please read the precautions on the reverse side before filling out this page) Order: ΐ = β = Γ ;. 中 夬 浦 ¢.
