Definitions

  • This invention relates to containment canisters for storing nuclear waste materials in particular, although not exclusively, spent nuclear fuel.
  • Nuclear fuel used in nuclear reactors is generally situated within a nuclear fuel assembly which comprises a plurality of individual fuel pins.
  • the fuel is located inside the pins which are commonly made from a zirconium alloy such as Zircaloy (trade name) or stainless steel depending on the fuel and reactor type.
  • this cladding provides a gas tight first radiation containment barrier. This feature of the cladding of the nuclear fuel assembly is present throughout the operational life of the fuel, and subsequently when the fuel is spent.
  • the fuel assembly When the fuel is spent, the fuel assembly must be removed from the nuclear reactor and replaced by a new fuel assembly. The old fuel is highly radioactive and generates a significant amount of heat. After cooling, the spent fuel assembly can be transported from the reactor site or moved to another location at the reactor site for interim storage.
  • interim storage is the preferred option, consideration must be given to the integrity of the cladding of the fuel pins. It is a common requirement of interim storage facilities that they ensure the radioactive fuel is contained within a structure which ensures at least double containment, that is. there are at least two gas tight radiation barriers between the fuel and the external environment. In some cases, the cladding can be used as a first containment barrier. However, it is costly, time consuming and labour intensive to guarantee the integrity of the cladding since all the fuel pins of each nuclear fuel assembly would require to be tested to examine the integrity of the cladding. For assemblies containing pins which failed the safety test the requirement of double containment would still need to be satisfied.
  • the Sierra Nuclear Corporation also provide a canister with a double lid, but disclose no means of monitoring the integrity of the lids.
  • One or more sensors at the earth surface detect leakage of radioactive material into the gap by monitoring scintillation of the circulated fluid, any scintillation caused by direct radiation from the stored material through the containment walls having by that time decayed to a negligible level.
  • the containment means at the foot of the bore is not entirely self contained, since the umbilical conduits extend from with such means, and themselves present a source of weakness in the containment system. For example, in the case of a heavy leak of radioactive material into the gap being monitored, only the relative vulnerable umbilical conduits, and associated pipework and pumps prevent leakage into the environment. Moreover, since storage lifetimes of over 50 years may be required in this sort of application, the choice of an inert monitoring fluid is particularly important.
  • the present invention provides apparatus for the containment of a radioactive object or material, the apparatus comprising an outer sealed vessel, and an inner sealed vessel for containing the radioactive object which inner vessel is located within the outer sealed vessel and separated therefrom by a gap, wherein the gap is filled with an inert fluid and the apparatus is arranged for circulation of the inert fluid in the gap by natural convection only. In this way, substantially all heat generated within the inner vessel is transferred to the outer vessel by radiation and by conduction and natural convection afforded by the inert fluid.
  • the apparatus can be self contained and transportable, and accordingly the invention also provides self contained apparatus for the containment of a radioactive object or material, the apparatus comprising an outer sealed vessel, and an inner sealed vessel for containing the radioactive object which inner vessel is located within the outer sealed vessel and separated therefrom by a gap, wherein the gap is filled with an inert fluid.
  • the invention extends to a method of storing a radioactive object or material, wherein said object or material is sealed within an inner vessel and said inner vessel is sealed within an outer vessel with a gap between the inner and outer vessels, wherein said gap is filled with an inert fluid and wherein said method includes the step of allowing circulation of said inert fluid always by natural convection alone.
  • the invention also extends to a method of storing a radioactive object or material, wherein said object or material is sealed within an inner vessel and said inner vessel- is sealed within an outer vessel with a gap between the inner and outer vessels, wherein said gap is filled with an inert fluid and wherein said outer vessel is substantially self contained.
  • the radiation containment may be for the storage of irradiated nuclear fuel.
  • the inert fluid is a gas.
  • the inert gas is helium.
  • Helium has a relatively high thermal conductivity, and provides a relatively efficient heat path via convection and conduction, from the inner, or first, vessel to the outer, or second, vessel.
  • a further need is to provide effective monitoring of the integrity of each of the vessels.
  • Use of an inert fluid in the gap allows the integrity of the vessels to be monitored, since leaks in the second vessel will be apparent from a change in pressure, composition and/or radioactivity of the inert fluid. Since the inert fluid can flow around substantially all of the space between the first vessel and the second vessel, it is possible to more accurately determine the overall integrity of the containment provided by the apparatus, since leaks from substantially all parts of both the first and second vessels can be detected.
  • leaks in the second vessel will be apparent from a change in pressure, and/or a change in the composition of the inert gas showing a greater proportion of oxygen, nitrogen or carbon dioxide, i.e. those gases found in air.
  • Leaks in the first vessel will be detected by an increase in the radioactivity of the inert gas.
  • the detector or all the detectors are located outside the gap and are connected or connectable to the gap by means of gas connectors.
  • the detector, or some or all of the detectors may be located inside the gap, or adjacent thereto and in fluid connection therewith.
  • Filling of the gap with the inert fluid may be performed using a backfilling valve mounted in a wall (for example the lid) of the outer vessel.
  • the valve is recessed into the wall to protect it from mechanical damage.
  • the valve may be protected and/or sealed by the securing of a plate thereover, for example by welding.
  • This construction is regarded as particularly secure, and so monitoring may be deemed unnecessary, at least in some cases. If monitoring is required, some means of accessing the detectors (for example, electrical, such as leads, or optical, such as a plain window or a coherent or incoherent fibre optic bundle) needs to sealingly penetrate the wall or lid of the outer vessel.
  • valve may be left available, and this is particularly relevant where it is desired to connect a detector to the fluid within the gap for monitoring purposes.
  • the stored material comprises spent fuel rods, for example, monitoring may not need to be effected very often, say around once a year, so that there is little risk of material from the valve escaping into the environment.
  • the gap contains a first spacer used to ensure that the first vessel and second vessel are substantially concentric and separated.
  • the gap may contain a second spacer situated between the load bearing surfaces of the first and second vessels.
  • the second spacer may be generally in the form of a flat plate.
  • the second spacer is made of or comprises ceramic material.
  • the ceramic material may contain vents or gas passages to allow the inert gas to pass between the load bearing surfaces of the first vessel and the second vessel.
  • the vents or gas passages may be formed by constructing the second spacer from a number of ceramic tiles individually spaced from one another.
  • the first vessel is filled with helium or other inert gas.
  • the apparatus may optionally be used to provide multiple containment barriers since further such barriers may be present within the first vessel as, for example, further containment vessels, the innermost of which may contain the radiation source. It is an advantage of the present invention that no reliance is placed upon the integrity of the cladding of the nuclear fuel assembly since the radiation barriers are contained within the structure of the vessels. This allows the spent fuel elements to be stored without the need to monitor the integrity of the cladding on the fuel pins.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross section in elevation of a double containment canister assembly according to the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows an expanded view taken of detail "A" from Figure 1 of the spacer and welds used to secure the first vessel in place inside the second vessel to provide a double containment canister having a gap as claimed in the present invention
  • Figure 3 shows a schematic cross section in elevation of the second vessel or outer containment canister; and Figure 4 which shows a plan view of an example of an arrangement of fuel assemblies which form a radiation source inside the first vessel or inner containme-nt canister.
  • Figure 1 shows a double containment canister 1.
  • the general features and dimensions are as follows.
  • the entire structure is cylindrical measuring 4.135m in length and 1.85m in diameter, these dimensions are those of the outside surfaces of the outer containment vessel or second sealed vessel 3.
  • the inner containment vessel 5 or first sealed vessel is constructed to fit inside the outer containment vessel.
  • the wall of the outer containment vessel 3 is 0.025m thick.
  • the wall of the inner containment vessel is .005m thick. Both structures are constructed from carbon steel of a known specification.
  • the inner containment canister 5 is fitted with a shield lid 13 which is 0.2m thick.
  • the outer containment canister 3 is fitted with a structural lid 15 which 0.075m thick.
  • a gap 9 exists between the inner containment vessel 5 and the outer containment vessel 3. This gap is illustrated clearly in Figure 2.
  • the inner containment vessel contains the fuel basket 7 into which the spent nuclear fuel is loaded for interim storage.
  • the fuel basket 7 contains a number of parallel fuel assembly guide tubes 11 in which the spent nuclear fuel is placed inside the fuel basket 7. These guide tubes 11 are constructed of carbon steel of a known specification and are 4.02m long.
  • the fuel basket also contains lengthening bar guide tubes 14. These tubes are used to contain the lengthening or hanger bar component of the spent fuel assembly.
  • Figure 2 shows an expanded view of the lids and the gap between the inner containment vessel and the outer containment vessel 3.
  • the cylindrical wall of the inner containment vessel 5 and the cylindrical wall of the outer containment vessel 3 are shown and the gap 9 between the vessels is clearly visible and is 0.01m wide.
  • a spacer 21 is provided to ensure the inner containment vessel 5 is substantially concentric with the outer containment vessel 3.
  • the spacer 21 is 0.007m in width and therefore leaves a gap 23 between the outer containment vessel and the inner containment vessel of 0.003m in the region of the spacer 23.
  • the width of the gap 9 below the spacer is 0.01m.
  • the shield lid 13 is welded to the inner containment vessel at 25 and the structural lid 15 is welded to the outer containment vessel at 29.
  • Quick release connectors incorporating gas inlet valves 31 are situated below a steel plate 27 which is welded in place after the inner containment vessel 5 is dried and back filled with helium. Similar connectors are located on the structural lid 15.
  • Figure 3 shows the outer containment vessel 5.
  • the thickness of the bottom surface of the vessel 41 is shown as 0.03m.
  • a ceramic support spacer 43 is positioned on top of the bottom surface of the vessel, this prevents the bottom steel surface 45 of the inner containment vessel from reacting with the bottom steel 41 surface of the outer containment vessel and also allows circulation of Helium between the bottom surfaces of vessels 3 and 5.
  • This figure also shows quick release connectors incorporating gas inlet valves 47 and 49 used to backfill the gap 9 with helium gas.
  • a pressure sensor 42, gas composition sensor 44 and radiation detector 46 are shown.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a plan view of the arrangement of spent fuel assemblies within the canister for one type of fuel.
  • the central portion of the arrangement is filled with the lengthening or hanger bars, which are put in the lengthening bar guide tubes (51).
  • the space surrounding these tubes is filled with fuel assembly guide tubes.
  • the inner containment vessel 5 is filled with fuel assemblies which are located in the fuel assembly guide tubes 11 and with lengthening bars which are located in the lengthening bar guide tubes.
  • the void 17 can be filled with other waste material.
  • the gap 9 is subsequently filled with helium by means of a sealable gas connector 47 ( Figure 3) located in the structural lid.
  • a second gas connector 49 is used as an exhaust for gases displaced by the helium. These exhaust gases are monitored either continuously or periodically (monitoring apparatus not shown) and when the helium content of the gap gas is at a known high level, approximately 99.99%, the inlet pipe 47 and exhaust pipe 49 are sealed.
  • the helium in the gap can be monitored in at least three distinct ways either by using the detectors 42, 44, 46 located in the gap, as shown in Figure 3, or by connecting monitoring apparatus to the gas inlet valves continuously or as and when desired.
  • Detector 42 is a pressure monitor 42 for enabling an indication of any change in the gas pressure. Such a change of pressure would arise if a crack or other fault in the outer containment vessel occurred. The resultant change in pressure would indicate such a malfunction.
  • composition of the gas inside the gap can be monitored. If the amount of oxygen or nitrogen in this gas increased, as determined by detector 44, this would also give a good indication that a breach in the outer containment vessel had occurred.
  • the third detector 46 is made up of a number of detectors which can measure the effects of radioactivity. In particular the level of radionuclides in the gas is examined. The level of ionisation of the He gas would indicate the amount of radiation escaping from any part of the vessel since the helium gas fills almost the entire gap with the exception of that part of the gap which is occupied by the ceramic base plate. Also ⁇ detection may be used to indicate a breach in the shield lid 23. In addition, neutron monitoring equipment can be included in the radioactivity detector.
  • this example of the present invention provides apparatus which allows double containment of the radioactive source (in this case spent nuclear fuel assemblies) and, because of the extent of the gap between the inner containment vessel 5 and the outer containment vessel 3, it also allows monitoring of the integrity of the whole of both containment vessels.
  • the apparatus is self-contained, and can be moved or transported with relative ease. The natural convection and conduction afforded by the helium filling effectively transfers heat from the spent fuel rods to the outer vessel.
  • the ceramic support 43 used to fill the gap between the load bearing surfaces of the inner containment vessel 45 and the outer containment vessel 41 contains a number of vents which allow the helium gas to circulate around the gap between the load bearing surfaces.
  • the internal structure of the inner vessel 5 in the above example is dictated by the particular form of fuel assembly being stored.
  • the internal structure may be changed to accommodate other designs of fuel assembly without departing from the principle or scope of the present invention.
