Large-Scale Model Testing of a Concrete Silo EBS for Low- and Intermediate-Level Waste Disposal
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
This study focuses on demonstrating the feasibility of constructing a large reinforced concrete silo for the disposal of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste. In a large-scale model test, the results of temperature (from heat of hydration) and thermal stress analyses were confirmed, as was the practicality of countermeasures to prevent thermal cracking. After one year, the average permeability of the model silo was estimated to be below 1×10−11m/s.
