Abstract

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) successfully demonstrated the Versatile Remediation Module (VRM), a prototype module designed and built by ORNL for on-site remote repair of welded stainless steel storage containers for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. This paper describes the VRM prototype and its design features and components to support continued long-term storage or off-site transportation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste currently stored in storage containers. A remote (100 ft away from the simulated radiative environment) demonstration of the VRM was successfully performed on a full-scale mock-up welded stainless steel canister. The VRM is designed with features to accommodate remediation techniques beyond those currently selected and described in this paper. Therefore, many of the VRM’s features may benefit other remote nuclear or nonnuclear applications. The VRM is envisioned to serve as a development center to facilitate and enhance further development of new remediation technologies.

远程修复用完的核燃料和高级废物储存容器的多功能修复模块

摘要

橡树岭国家实验室(ORNL)成功展示了多功能修复模块(VRM),这是由ORNL设计和制造的原型模块,用于现场维修焊接过的核燃料和高放射性废物不锈钢焊接容器。本文介绍了VRM原型及其设计特征和组件,以支持当前存储在存储容器中的乏核燃料和高放射性废物的持续长期存储或异地运输。在全尺寸的模拟焊接不锈钢罐上成功进行了VRM的远程演示(距离模拟辐射环境100英尺)。VRM的设计特点是可以容纳补救技术,而本文中目前尚未选择和描述那些补救技术。所以,VRM的许多功能可能会使其他远程核或非核应用受益。设想将VRM用作开发中心,以促进和增强新补救技术的进一步开发。
