Two 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023聽Double-Walled Canisters Loaded and Placed into聽Concrete Storage Modules at Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant

A聽聽historic milestone was reached on December 14, 2020 at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) in Ukraine, when 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023-trained technicians loaded the second double-walled canister (DWC) [a 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023 patented design] with RBMK reactor spent nuclear fuel into the site鈥檚 Interim Storage Facility (ISF-2). This important event was attended by Mr. Roman聽Abramovsky, Minister, Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine; Mr.聽Grigoriy Plachkov, Chairman, State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU);聽Mr. Serhiy聽Kalashnyk, Head, State Agency of Ukraine for Exclusion Zone Management;聽Mr. Volodymyr Peskov, ChNPP Acting General Director; Mr. Sergiy Tarakanov, General Director, 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023 Ukraine; and officials from other Ukraine entities.聽The first fully loaded DWC had been placed in storage on November 18, 2020.聽

We are proud of the ruggedness of the 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023-designed pool-to-pad system exhibited by the ongoing and successfully demonstrated seamless operations.聽The two loaded DWCs, containing a total of 93 used fuel assemblies (in each DWC), from Chornobyl’s aging storage facility, marks the culmination of over two decades of effort. The聽Chornobyl ISF-2 is the world鈥檚 most complex dry storage project with numerous unique aspects that were developed by 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023 to overcome the challenges that had stymied the project for over a decade before 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023 took over the stricken project and completed it successfully handing over the complex to the Owner in December 2019.聽

Among the many innovative technologies are the use of DWCs to render any risk of leakage orders of magnitude more non-credible than required by regulations in the US and most regulatory regimes, and the deployment of a Forced Gas Dehydrator to extract the last trace of entrained moisture from the fuel for guaranteed storage safety. Each assembly is separated into three parts (two fuel bundles and an activated connecting rod) in a purpose-built hot cell (the world鈥檚 largest) before it is packaged in the double-walled transportable canisters (that are in use in the United Kingdom and Ukraine).

鈥淪uccessful loading of the two Canisters at the Chornobyl Interim Spent Fuel Storage demonstrates an important and long-awaited event. This event has now paved the way for the Licensee to make preparations for obtaining full operating license. The transfer of ChNPP Spent Nuclear Fuel to a long-term safe dry storage at ISF-2 over the next 10 years is one of key milestones in the transformation of the Chornobyl NPP into an ecologically safe system,鈥� stated State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) Chairman Mr. Grigoriy Plachkov.

鈥淭his major milestone accomplishment for successfully loading the Two Canisters in the ISF-2 has been achieved by the hard work and diligent joint efforts of ChNPP, 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023 and its contractors. This historic accomplishment clearly demonstrates that the deployed technology and the processes for spent nuclear fuel management at the ISF-2 meet the strictest modern requirements of the IAEA and guarantee the environmental safety of the territories in which these take place.聽Special thanks to the Donors and the EBRD for the support provided to this project along a difficult path,鈥漵aid Mr. Volodymyr Peskov, ChNPP Acting General Director.

According to 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023鈥檚 executive in charge of Ukraine Operations, Vice President Riaz Awan, this successful milestone is a result of strong teamwork, innovation, and dedication. 鈥淭his major achievement entailed extensive processes, and collectively we worked together with technology and innovation to make this project an ongoing success,鈥� Awan said. 鈥淚 would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our associates at the 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023 Ukraine Operations Center and especially our on-site staff who worked around the clock to accomplish this milestone.鈥�

The loading by聽ChNPP was monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine.聽After the pioneering dry storage operations, it is expected that an unrestricted operating license to move forward with the campaign shall be granted by the Authorities enabling the Owner to empty the site鈥檚 aging pools on an accelerated schedule and decommission them.聽
