Responding to a major safety issue at a basic nuclear facility: qualification of radioactive waste packages in the event of dropping
Description
The CEDRA nuclear facility has been created to receive and store radioactive wastes. A unit composed of engineers aims to insure the good operation of the facility with a permanent industrial operator and various companies involved in diverse operations. The facility is checked by many inspections of the Nuclear Safety Authority. Different assignments have been defined in various areas: safety, radiation protection, security, and environment... Several missions have been introduced in this report, particularly a main one. It concerns a direct request of the ASN, and I worked to 2 years on it: we have to prove the resistance to the fall of our different types of packages of radioactive wastes. The other tasks are related to the operation of the facility. For instance, we have to draft documents about commissioning for a radioactive waste package investigation cell, to reinforce the integrity of waste packages, to update the safety documentation.

Abstract (French)
L'installation nucleaire de base CEDRA, a ete concue pour recevoir et entreposer des dechets radioactifs. Une equipe composee d'ingenieurs est en charge d'assurer le bon fonctionnement de l'installation en s'appuyant sur un operateur industriel permanent et differentes entreprises intervenant pour des operations ponctuelles. L'installation se voit confrontee au reexamen de surete ainsi qu'aux differentes visites de controle de l'Autorite de Surete Nucleaire, et nombreuses sont alors les attentes qui en decoulent. Afin d'y repondre, differentes missions a plus ou moins long terme ont ete definies et ce dans differents domaines: surete, radioprotection, securite, environnement... Dans ce rapport sont presentees plusieurs missions realisees sur ces deux annees de Master dont essentiellement une principale, etalee sur deux ans, concernant une demande directe de l'ASN: prouver la tenue a la chute de nos differents types de colis de dechets radioactifs. Les autres missions sont en rapport avec l'exploitation de l'installation: rediger des documents de mise en service d'une cellule d'examen de colis de dechets radioactifs, renforcer l'integrite des colis de dechets, mettre a jour la documentation securite.
