TVO's new encapsulation method for spent nuclear fuel
Description
Teollisuuden Voima Oy has developed a new encapsulation method for spent nuclear fuel s.c. cold process. Instead of casting (400 deg C) molten lead the new canister is filled with cold granulated material like quartz sand, lead shots or glassa beads. The new canister concept ACPC (Advanced Cold Process Canister) consists of the outer oxygen free copper canister and of the inner steel canister. The function of the steel canister is merely to give mechanical strength. The copper canister acts as corrosion protection guaranteeing practically lifetime of millions of years for the ACPC concept
