Descripción del proyecto
Desmantelamiento de instalaciones nucleares en la era digital
Las instalaciones nucleares dejan de funcionar al llegar a final de su vida. El proyecto PLEIADES, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrollará una nueva metodología para mejorar las operaciones de clausura y desmantelamiento (D&D, por sus siglas en inglés) en Europa. Más concretamente, el proyecto demostrará un innovador método mejorado digitalmente para las tareas fundamentales relacionadas con D&D en ejemplos reales de proyectos en Europa. Integrará herramientas de apoyo digital de vanguardia en una plataforma tecnológica de modelado de información para la edificación (BIM, por sus siglas en inglés) de forma que optimizará y facilitará el proceso de D&D y dará lugar a acciones coordinadas. Además, podrá recuperar y relacionar datos, y calcular resultados de simulación relativos a la viabilidad de las hipótesis, la estimación de residuos, la exposición a la radiación, el coste y la duración.
Objetivo
Dismantling and decommissioning (D&D) of nuclear facilities enters an important period covering initiatives driven by different countries to strengthen safety measures and maintaining the operation financially viable. The representatives of industry, research, safety organization and technological SMEs join forces in this project to demonstrate an innovative BIM modelling-based approach for detailed planning of logistics, resource allocation and safety measures from a holistic perspective on carefully selected pilot plants. As compared with traditional decommissioning projects, D&D of nuclear facilities is a complex task due to specific logistical and coordination requirements, budgetary constraints and long-term time frames. Considerable uncertainties of these factors, combined with high-level safety requirements related to management of radiological material, calls for an innovative approach. While traditional methods applying mostly manual procedures for planning of individual tasks within the overall process, such methods prove inefficient for enabling integrated planning across the whole project and team. 3D modelling-based digital concepts have potential to both simplify D&D planning, and to lead towards more efficient and better-coordinated actions. The project outcomes shall result in a mature platform based on a BIM approach, integrating a software suite, including emerging tools and digital solutions provided by PLEIADES partners and interconnected together. Within this platform, the main issues of a dismantling site will be treated and optimized. The project will develop a common core, on which all the software modules can connect, retrieve input data, calculate simulation results and share up-to-date data, in particular scenario feasibility, waste estimation, radiation exposure, cost and duration. The platform will be evaluated on several real decommissioning projects of different natures, such as a research reactor and a commercial power plant.
