Description

WASTEF (Waste Safety Testing Facility) was planned in 1978 to test the safety performance of HLW vitrified forms under the simulated conditions of long term storage and disposal, and completed in August 1981. The facility has total floor area of 3,772 m2, controlled area of about 1,800 m2, 5 units of concrete shielded hot cells (3 units :βγ cell, 2 units :αγ cell) and one unit of αγ-lead shielded cell. The facility is capable to treat radioactivity of 5 x 104 Ci in maximum (equivalent to actual high-level wastes) and to store 106 Ci in maximum. The report describes the design and specification of the building, cells, cell attachment, electric equipment and waste handling equipment. (author)
