Radionuclide characterization of spent purification filters

Creators

  • 1. Dept. of Mechanical Eng., Univ. of Toronto, Toronto

Description

A remote handling facility is described which will aid in the assessment of the radionuclide mix and total activity content of spent purification filters. The facility will also dry filters as part of their preparation for off-site shipment. One possible system design, consisting of a robot with five degrees of freedom, a shielded Ge-Li detector, and a vacuum drying system, is described. Benefits could include reduced operating and waste storage or burial costs, feedback on filter performance, and an improved understanding of environmental protection requirements
