Status of Site Investigations for Spent Fuel Repository in Finland
TVO's site programme aims at selection of a repository site for spent fuel by the end of 2000. A repository is planned to be constructed in the 2010's and commissioned...

Analysis of Requirements for Data and Information for the Management of Spent Nuclear Fuel Designated for Disposal in a Mined Geologic Repository
Official documents and relevant published papers were reviewed to determine what information on spent fuel will be needed by the Department of Energy (DOE) in order for it to meet its...

Systems Integration Operations/Logistics Model (SOLMOD)
SOLMOD is a discrete event simulation model written in FORTRAN 77 and operates in a VAX or PC environment. The model emulates the movement and interaction of equipment and radioactive...

Incorporation of Reprocessing Raffinates and High Level Solids in Cement
Reprocessing highly enriched uranium fuel from UKAEA Materials Testing Reactors produces highly active aqueous raffinate. This is currently stored. The UK strategy is for raffinate immobilisation,...

High Level Waste Management at Sellafield
Reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel has been carried out at Sellafield since 1952, when reprocessing of fuel from the original UK air-cooled reactors began. In 1964 a second reprocessing...

Influence of High Burn Up Nuclear Fuel and MOX on the High Level Reprocessing Waste Management
This paper compares characteristics of high level waste issued from the reprocessing of high burn up fuel (HTC) and mixed oxide (U-Pu)O₂ fuel (MOX)...
