Inventory and characterization of important radio-nuclides for safety of storage and disposal. Correlation to key nuclides which are easy to measure in typical caste streams

Objective



The aim of this additional proposal is to incorporate four Hungarian laboratories in CEC contracts n/ F12W-CT9O-0034 and n/ F12W-CT9I-0109. Indeed, in 1992 Paks Nuclear power plant with close collaboration with Institute of Nuclear Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and with the Budapest Technical University has started a radioactive waste classification program (WCP) to determine the radiological properties of wastes intended for disposal in the future.
The WCP consists of a monitoring program and a radio-chemical program. The goal of the monitoring program is to develop a non-destructive gamma-monitor system that is capable of determining the inventory of gamma-emitting radionuclides in wastes.
The goals of the radio-chemical analysis program are to develop the radio-analytical methods for the determination of the non-gamma-emitting radionuclides, provide verification of the monitoring data, and provide correlation factors between gamma-emitting and non-gamma-emitting radionuclides to enable the operator to estimate the inventories of non-gamma-emitting radionuclides.
Taking into account that :
- this programme is very consistent with that being carried out in the framework of the above-mentioned contracts,
- the larger number of waste analytical results available, the more significant the critical-to-key-nuclides ratios will be,
it is hereby proposed to include this Hungarian contribution in the CEC contract n/ F12W-CT9O-0034 until its end, under the coordination of CEA-CADARACHE.
