STUDY OF A NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHOD FOR PACKED RADIOACTIVE WASTE CONTAINERS.

Ziel

A COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPH IS DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO TEST THE PHYSICAL HOMOGENEITY OF RADWASTE PACKAGES, THAT WILL BE 200 L DRUMS FILLED EITHER WITH POLYMER OR BITUMIZED RADWASTE, AND ALSO INACTIVE GLASS PACKAGES.

SPECIAL STUDIES ARE REQUIRED TO DESIGN SUCH A MACHINE; FIRST, A FEASIBILITY STUDY GAVE THE PRELIMINARY FEATURES OF THIS DRUM-SCANNER; THEN ITS DESIGN AND REALIZATION HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROGRAMME IS TO START OPERATION ON THIS DRUM SCANNER BY THE END OF 1988.
The study of a simplified tomograph (drum scanner) has been undertaken. Although simplified this drum scanner will be most helpful for inspecting and characterising radioactive waste packages in the field as well as in the laboratory.
1. DEDICATED FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE DRUM-SCANNER, AIMING AT DEFINING A LOW-COST, EASY-TO-BUILD TOMOGRAPH.
2. DESIGN AND REALIZATION OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL HARDWARE.
3. DESIGN AND REALIZATION OF MEASUREMENT ELECTRONICS.
4. DESIGN AND REALIZATION OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.
5. DESIGN AND REALIZATION OF THE SHIELDING.
6. ASSEMBLY OF THE COMPONENTS AND TESTS ON THE MACHINE.
