Disposal of control elements from the VAK reactor
Description
From the 25 years of operation there were available in the VAK fuel cooling installation 22 control elements which had to be dismantled and packed ready for disposal. The design of the control elements was already that which was later used in other boiling water reactors, so that the procedure took on a pioneering character. The technique of a remote controlled underwater scissors was suitable for the dismantling. By means of an accompanying measuring programme, it was confirmed that the released tritium posed no radiological problem for the working place and the waste values of the installation.
