Examination of the waste held in a storage facility for high- and intermediate-level waste from the MR reactor

Abstract

The article presents the results of a survey carried out at a storage facility for intermediate- and high-level waste established during the operation of MP and RFT research reactors at the site of the Russian Research Center Kurchatov Institute. Relevant survey methods were selected based on the personnel safety requirements for measurements, permissible individual and collective annual exposure of personnel and the population, standards for contaminated environmental objects. All RW containers held in the storage cells were certified and handled properly to ship them from the site of the RRC Kurchatov Institute. The decommissioning designs for this storage facility will be developed based on the data obtained.
