Objetivo THE STORAGE IN LARGE CONTAINERS OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES ISSUED FROM THE DISMANTLING OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR ESTABLISHING A GENERAL METHODOLOGY OF DECOMMISSIONING. SINCE 1980, SGN AND EVERITUBE HAVE BEEN PROMOTING MEDIUM-SIZED CEMENT-BASED CONTAINERS., REINFORCED WITH ASBESTOS FIBRES, FOR CONDITIONING LOW-LEVEL AND MEDIUM-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP LARGE CEMENT-BASED CONTAINERS, REINFORCED WITH VARIOUS FIBRE MATERIALS OTHER THAN ASBESTOS., WITH THE TECHNOLOGY USED FOR FABRICATION OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPES. THE RESEARCH WILL BE BASED ON THE CURRENT COMPONENTS TO BE DISPOSED OF, WITH RESPECT TO THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DISASSEMBLING OF LARGE METAL COMPONENTS.DRUMS AND OTHER CONVENTIONAL UNSHIELDED CONTAINERS ALREADY USED FOR DECOMMISSIONING OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES WILL ALSO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. THE CONTAINERS TO BE DEVELOPED ARE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS OF EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT ALLOWING THEM TO COMPLY WITH INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR ROAD AND RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION. THESE CONTAINERS SHOULD GENERALLY BE USED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL SHIELDING, FOR STORAGE OF LOW-LEVEL AND MEDIUM-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS. B.1. COMPILATION OF CONTAINER REQUIREMENTS, ACTIVITY LEVELS, TRANSPORT AND DISPOSAL CONDITIONS, IN PARTICULAR FOR LARGE COMPONENTS. B.2. SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE CEMENT/FIBRE COMPOSITES BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE RELEVANT INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCES. B.3. EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF THE SELECTED MATERIALS AT PILOT PLANT SCALE WITH RESPECT TO RELEVANT CRITERIA. B.4. DEFINITION OF MAIN PARAMETERS OF A RANGE OF LARGE CONTAINERS, COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING TRANSPORTATION MEANS AND STORAGE/DISPOSAL FACILITIES. B.5. DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE CONTAINER AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH.
