Buildings rack storage

Autoreactive spontaneously flammable substances ethylene oxide, acrylic esters, phosphorus, catalysts Single level structure, in separate fire compartments max. 50 tons per fire compartment max. 300 tons per building without storage racks max. 2 rows or 8 ft deep, one layer or 4 ft high min. 4 ft between blocks... 

Minimum Spacing Requirements for Onsite Buildings Primarily distances between buildings and major site features such as process and property boundaries, tanks storage, loading racks, and utilities... 

The unirratfiated fiiel storage areas in the Building 105-K Assembly Area have been expanded to accommodate up to 1620 unirradiated Mark 22 foel tubes and assemblies (three Mark 22 reactor charges plus iq>proximatdy 250 are and replacement tubes and assemblies). To store the increased number of unirradiated assemblies, two six-stack racks and two fixir-stack racks have been provided in the Assembly ea. 

Parallel to this activity, IPEN will analyse the possibility of increasing the number of racks in the lEA-Rl reactor pool and of refurbishing a section of the reactor building in which 50 dry storage horizontal tubes are located (in which three standard spent fuel assemblies per tube can be stored), as discussed in Section 2.1.3.2. 

The Argentine critical facilities RA-0 at the University of Cordoba, RA-4 at the University of Rosario and RA-8 at the Pilcaniyeu Technological Complex do not generate spent fuel and store their irradiated fuel in the reactor core or in dry storage racks inside the reactor building. 

In addition to the racks, there are 50 dry horizontal storage tubes (where three standard spent fuel assemblies per tube can be stored) located in the reactor building. However, significant modifications will be required before any decision to store spent fuels in these tubes can be taken. Figure 4 shows a view of the dry horizontal tubes. 

The spent fuels will be transferred to air-cooled spent fuel storage racks in the spent fuel storage building after more than two years cooling in the fuel storage pool of the reactor building. The air-cooled spent fuel storage pool will store the spent fuel assemblies of about ten core inventories. 

A forklift could easily drop a container of toxic chemicals at a dock or from a rack. The fork of the lift truck could easily spear and puncture a 55-gallon drum of solvent in a paint storage warehouse. Potentially deadly carbon monoxide could easily permeate an entire building. Poorly designed work areas could cause injuries to the arms, wrists, shoulders, and back because of material handling.
