Book excerpt: The paper presents an analysis of the pbf severe fuel damage scoping test performed at eg&g idaho falls using scdap. the performance of thermal-hydraulic and oxidation models in the code in the context of this experiment is assessed. the main pehnomena predicted by scdap are presented and in general agreement with experiment is good. the most interesting feature of the experiment, the final excursion, is predicted to be consistent with a thermal-hydraulic feed-back resulting from a deterioration in bundle cooling.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the behaviour of candu fuel under accident conditions is important for licensing current candu-phw reactors and for improving the safety performance of future candu designs. the btf in-reactor severe fuel damage experiments are being performed to increase our understanding of fuel thermo-mechanical behaviour, and fission-product release and transport under the degraded-cooling conditions typical of loss-of-coolant accident (loca) and loss-of-emergency-core-cooling (loecc) accident scenarios. data from the btf experiments will be used to benchmark candu safety analysis codes. this study of the fission-product retention characteristics of stainless steel and inconel surfaces was partially funded as an "in-kind" contribution to the phebus fp research program within the framework of the cog-phebus fp agreement. the primary objective of the btf-104 test was to determine the amount and timing of fission-product release from a candu fuel element under loca/loecc conditions resulting in a volume-average fuel temperature of 1550 degrees c. the value of this report is that it presents the results of a comparison of the fission-product retention characteristics of stainless steel and inconel at 500 to 700 degrees c in a steam-hydrogen atmosphere. the tellurium retention was similar on the two materials but the iodine and cesium were retained more effectively by the stainless steel. the implications of this work are that stainless steel piping surfaces are more effective than inconel surfaces in reducing the amount of iodine and cesium released to the containment under loca/loecc conditions.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high-level nuclear waste (HLW) disposal concept proposed by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. was submitted for review by the federal environmental assessment and review process (EARP). This report summarizes the status of high-level nuclear waste management programs in other countries. A brief review of the Canadian HLW program is made for comparison with other countries' progress, particularly that of Belgium, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States, which are described in detail. For each country, descriptions are given of key organizations, disposal facility schedules, waste quantities, interim storage and transportation, site investigations, repository design, impact analysis, monitoring, licensing and other regulatory requirements, disposal concept assessment, and public participation processes.

This book was released on 2008-06-13 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world, public policies are increasingly associated with social and environmental risk and scientific uncertainty. Given such potential impacts on the moral freedom and equality for existing and future generations, policies should reflect decision-making standards beyond those of economic efficiency and technical safety. They should reflect the imperatives of social justice and democratic legitimacy now and into the future. Deliberative Democracy for the Future identifies an approach to ethical policy analysis that promises to serve the ends of justice and legitimacy in areas of public policy such as hazardous waste management, energy generation and regulation, climate change control, and genomics research and commercialization. Based on a wide reading of ethical approaches to policy analysis found in contemporary political theory, moral philosophy, and public policy literatures, it evaluates these three central approaches to ethical policy analysis in light of moral dilemmas arising in a particularly timely case: Canadian nuclear waste management policy. The volume's central argument is that the most desirable approach to ethical policy analysis contains the philosophical tools necessary to address problems of understanding risk and safety, identifying obligations to both existing and future generations, and conceptualizing legitimacy-conferring decision-making processes. Genevieve Fuji Johnson argues that neither welfare utilitarianism nor modern deontology is sufficiently equipped for these tasks. She proposes that only deliberative democracy contains convincing conceptions of the good, justice, and legitimacy that provide for the justifiable resolution of debates about the moral foundations of public policy. Responding to challenges in nuclear waste management in ways more comprehensive and more tenable than both utilitarianism and deontology, deliberative policy analysis promises to be an effective approach to other cases associated with risk, uncertainty, and futurity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's (AECL's) Underground Research Laboratory (URL) began in 1982. The URL was designed to address the needs of the Canadian nuclear fuel waste management program. Over the years, a comprehensive program of geologic characterization and underground hydrogeologic, geotechnical and geomechanical projects have been performed, many of which are ongoing. The scientific work at the URL has evolved through a number of different phases to meet the changing needs of Canada's waste management program. The various phases of the URL have included siting, site evaluation, construction and operation. Collaboration with international organizations is encouraged at the URL, with the facility being a centre of excellence in an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) network of underground facilities. One of AECL's major achievements of the past 20 year program has been the preparation and public defense of a ten-volume Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a conceptual deep geologic repository. Completion of this dissertation on the characterization, construction and performance modeling of a conceptual repository in the granite rock of the Canadian Shield was largely based on work conducted at the URL. Work conducted over the seven years since public defense of the EIS has been directed towards developing those engineering and performance assessment tools that would be required for implementation of a deep geologic repository. The URL continues to be a very active facility with ongoing experiments and demonstrations performed for a variety of Canadian and international radioactive waste management organizations.
