Objective This research programme aims at investigating methods to exclude unacceptable hydrogen generation by supercompacted waste pellets as well as methods to decrease overpressure by hydrogen absorption from the in-drum atmosphere.Work programme: Time-dependent measurements of gas formation in supercompacted pelletsMeasurement of:- Gas analyses of inactive pellets with defined composition- Gas analyses of real rad-waste pellets- Gas analyses of a containerHeating of pellets under different conditions (P,T,t) followed by measurement of gas generation after thermal treatment.Testing filters of hydrogen absorption (physical reaction)Evaluation and tests of materials reacting with hydrogen (chemical reaction)Proposal of technical procedures to avoid hydrogen release Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energyhydrogen energynatural scienceschemical sciences Programme(s) FP2-RADWASTOM 4C - Specific research and technical development programme (Euratom) in the field of management and storage of radioactive waste, 1990-1994 Topic(s) A.3.1 - Waste form characterisation and performance Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM JUELICH GMBH EU contribution No data Address WILHELM JOHNEN STRASSE 52425 JUELICH Germany See on map Links Website Opens in new window Total cost No data
