Criticality-safety in stoves for UF6 containers heated with steam: safety study
Description
At the present time the liquefaction of UF6 is carried out in hot air stoves. The safety-criticality problems arising are examined with respect to the use of steam ovens and particularly the bursting or deteriorarion of a valve bringing uranium 5% enriched with U 235 into contact with water or steam. The safety-criticality is guaranteed by monitoring the moderation of the medium. Checks are carried out by pressure variation or pH detection or by gamma detection
Abstract (French)
Actuellement la liquefaction de UF6 s'effectue a l'aide d'etuves a air chaud, on examine les problemes de surete-criticite qui se posent pour utiliser une etuve a vapeur et en particulier la rupture ou la deterioration d'une vanne mettant en contact l'uranium enrichi a 5% en U 235 avec de l'eau ou de la vapeur d'eau. La surete-criticite est garantie par le controle de la moderation du milieu. Les controles sont effectues par detection de variation de pression ou de pH ou par detection gammaAdditional details
