INRA Integrated Fuel Recycling Facility Solid Waste Management - 9468

This paper presents an overview of the Integrated Fuel Recy cling Facility solid waste management process for the Pre-Conceptual Design of the facility proposed by the International Nuclear Recycling Alliance (INRA) Team. Wastes estimates and expected activity level are provided. The low volume of expected produced waste benefits from years of experience and feedback from La Hague operations, where a determined waste management strategy has been implemented. All waste management information presented in this paper is based on existing industrial experience in AREVA facilities in France. Specific US and site specific local requirements that are not fully assessed yet may impact waste forms and quantities. Some process optimizations are still possible that would decrease the number of residues (most notably for low level waste), dependent on potential disposal paths in the U.S. and the associated waste acceptance criteria of the receiving facilities.
