Santa Maria de Garoña NPP, Spain
Background
BWR (General Electrics) 466 MW
- 987 metric t. of large component + scrap metal from turbine island
- Turbine rotors, turbine casings, heat exchangers, etc.
- 3 shipments from Spain to Sweden
Our proposal
4 main phases
- Preparations: on-site at Garona NPP
- Processing
- Clearance at Cyclife Sweden
- Return of residues to Spain
Transcript
- Departure of Sweden
- Arrival to Sweden
- Radiological checks prior to unloading
- Turbine parts towards treatment facility
- Unloading of turbine casing
Results
- 95% of the total tonnage was converted to well characterized metal ingots
- Most ingots met the conditions for direct clearance and recycling back to the conventional industry, some will be stored for decay prior to clearance and recycling; a few melt batches and residues will return for final disposal
- The 95% volume reduction target met, defined as reduction of disposal volume
