by R. H. Sentelle, Westinghouse Savannah River, United States,
G. N. Richardson, Westinghouse Savannah River, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Environmental Engineering

Abstract:

Existing reactor effluent basins are being retrofitted with composite liners, leak detection system and floating covers. Such basins have a 15-year life and remain empty until an accident occurs. The retrofit must not interfere with ongoing operations and must provide for integrity testing.
