SAFETY PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN OF RADIOCHEMICAL PRODUCTION

First allow us to express our thanks to the organizers of this second seminar, which is a natural continuation of the first seminar, for the opportunity to exchange information with our Russian and foreign colleagues on matters of safety assurance during work with nuclear materials. [Pg.149]

In our paper, I shall briefly describe our radiochemical plant and our conceptual approach to safety assurance, and point out some of the problems related to further cooperation between Russia and SlZh. [Pg.149]

Radiochemical production was launched in 1964, and has run accident free to date. The plant is located within a rock massif composed of solid rock belonging to stable and extremely stable formations. The rocks are characterized by an extremely low water content. The radiochemical plant was designed to process irradiated standard uranium slugs from a nuclear reactor in order to separate uranium and plutonium. [Pg.149]

The plant possesses a duly issued license for types of activity related to processing of nuclear materials and the equipment of temporary storage facilities for medium- and high-level liquid waste, and to the handling of radioactive substances as individual units of the temporary storage facility for medium- and high-level waste are decommissioned. It holds a temporary permit from the Russian Federation State Academy of Sciences for all types of activity. [Pg.150]
