摘要： An apparatus is provided for storing hazardous waste material, which includes one or more of spent nuclear fuel, radioactive material, and fissionable material. A fusible alloy material, for example, a eutectic material, resides within the apparatus and surrounds the hazardous waste material. In the preferred embodiments, it is suggested that the fusible alloy material exhibits liquidus and solidus or melting temperatures that are between about 100 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit for facilities using the apparatus and methods for liquid storage pool loading applications. For facilities using the apparatus and methods for dry loading, the fusible alloy materials may exhibit liquidus and solidus or melting temperatures that are between about 100 and 650 degrees Fahrenheit. The fusible alloy material is introduced in a liquid phase and eventually solidifies into a solid phase as the temperature of the hazardous waste material and/or the local environment decreases.

摘要： Systems and methods of the disclosure are directed toward removing moisture from, and controlling the temperature of, spent nuclear fuel stored in spent fuel containers and the containers themselves. A vacuum system may remove vapor and gas from the container to reduce pressure and stimulate moisture evaporation. The potentially radioactive gas exiting the spent fuel container can also be transported to a radioactive waste gas system. A non-reactive gas is then circulated through a circulation path, which is communicatively coupled to a spent fuel container. The non-reactive gas can absorb heat and/or moisture from the spent fuel stored within the spent fuel container. Accordingly, heat can be removed by a heat exchanger coupled to the circulation path. Condensate moisture can also be removed from the circulation path.
摘要翻译：本公开的系统和方法旨在从存储在乏燃料容器和容器本身中的废核燃料中除去和控制温度。真空系统可以从容器中除去蒸汽和气体以减少压力并刺激水分蒸发。离开乏燃料容器的潜在放射性气体也可以运送到放射性废气系统。然后，非反应性气体循环通过循环路径，该循环通路连通地联接到废燃料容器。非反应性气体可以从储存在乏燃料容器中的乏燃料吸收热量和/或水分。因此，可以通过耦合到循环路径的热交换器去除热量。冷凝水分也可以从循环路径中去除。

摘要： An apparatus is provided for storing hazardous waste material, which includes one or more of spent nuclear fuel, radioactive material, and fissionable material. The apparatus comprises a containment vessel that encloses the hazardous waste material. A fusible alloy material, for example, a eutectic material, resides within the containment vessel and surrounds the hazardous waste material. In the preferred embodiments, it is suggested that the fusible alloy material exhibits liquidus and solidus or melting temperatures that are between about 100 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit for facilities using the apparatus and methods for liquid storage pool loading applications. For facilities using the apparatus and methods for dry loading, the fusible alloy materials may exhibit liquidus and solidus or melting temperatures that are between about 100 and 650 degrees Fahrenheit. The fusible alloy material is introduced in a liquid phase and eventually solidifies into a solid phase as the temperature of the hazardous waste material and/or the local environment decreases.

摘要： Disclosed are the apparatus and methods for closing a canister that stores and transports spent nuclear fuel. In one embodiment, the canister includes a canister shell that includes an open end. A closure lid is inserted within the open end of the canister shell. The closure lid engages the open end of the canister shell to provide a weld area that is substantially on the outer circumference of the closure lid. The weld area includes a first weld layer and a second weld layer. The first weld layer welds the closure lid to the canister shell at the weld area and closes the canister. The second weld layer also welds the closure lid to the canister shell at the weld area, providing a redundant closure seal, and is disposed substantially on top of the first weld layer. The method for closing the canister is provided herein.

摘要： Systems and methods of loading and/or removing spent nuclear fuel from a spent nuclear fuel pool are disclosed. A spent fuel basket compatible with a dry storage and/or transport system is disposed in a spent nuclear fuel pool. At least one spent fuel assembly is loaded in one of a plurality of chambers associated with the spent fuel basket. The spent fuel basket is inserted into a spent fuel canister. The spent fuel canister is loaded into a transfer cask. The spent fuel canister is then transferred from the transfer cask to a storage cask or a transport cask, which can be sealed and stored on-site or in an off-site storage facility.
