3. Title of the Study Visit (in English) : Technical Visit on the Technology and Innovation in Radioactive Waste Management in China

Title of the Study Visit (in Thai) : การศศึกษาดดูงานดด้านเทคโนโลยยีและนววัตกรรมดด้านการจวัดการ กากกมมวันตรวังสยีในประเทศสาธารณประชาชนจยีนวั

4. Sector of the Study Visit : Technology and Innovation ( Radioactive Waste Management in China)

5. Background and Rational : Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology is the only one RWM Operation Body in Thailand. Radioactive Waste Management Center (RWMC) is in charge in manage radioactive waste in the country in safe and proper ways to protect the workers, public and environment from the radiological risks. Nowadays, RWMC receives many kinds of radioactive waste from all over the country such as contaminated solid medical waste, liquid waste from laboratory and disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRS) from industrial R&D and medical utilization, and the number of waste trends to be increased every year. Therefore, it is need to upgrade and develop the waste management infrastructure as well as to study new technologies to support the increasing of nuclear technology uses in the country and for the first nuclear power plant (NPP) in Thailand.

China has developed the advanced technology and also innovation in R&D on Radioactive Waste Management from NPP and other utilizations of radioactive sources, such as the mobile hot cell for SHARS (Sealed High Activity Radioactive Source), NORM waste treatment and disposal technology, Disposal of Low and Intermediate Level Waste from NPP , etc.

6. Purposes of the Study Visit : - To study the advanced technology and also innovation in R&D on Radioactive Waste Management and Spent Fuel in China, - Collaboration and make the future MOU with the China National Nuclear Corp. (CNNC) which containing China Institute for Radiation Protection (CIRP), and China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) - To upgrade and to develop the TINT RWM Infrastructure from the result of this visit

7. Proposed Activities : - TINT staff study and visit the RWM facilities at NPPs in China, such as treatment, storage, and disposal of RW from NPPs - TINT staff study and visit NORM waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities from Mining /Processing of Rare-Earth in China. - TINT staff study and visit the technology on Management of Disused Sealed Radioactive Source (DSRS) at China Institute for Radiation Protection (CIRP) - CNNC staff visit the TINT for exchange the technology in RWM such as DSRS cat 1-3 Dismantling and Conditioning, NORM waste and spent fuel management -

8. How would the proposed activity be integrated into the work plan and mechanism of the requesting organization to ensure sustainability?

The proposed activity can be integrated into the TINT work plan and 5 year road map which the RWM Center has summited to the TINT management level during the fiscal year 2017-2022. The future MOU between TINT and CNNC would be ensure the sustainability of our co-operation in the area of RWM. 9. Number of Participants (maximum of 6 people) : 6

10. Venue : Taiyuan, Beijing

11. Estimated Start and Finish Dates (maximum of 5 days excluding travel days) : Tentative 12-16 June 2017 ( flexible)

12. Funding Requests (please attach the details of the project’s financial requests) : 12.1 TINT staff visit to China estimates 250,000 Bath 12.2 CNNC staff visit to Thailand estimates 300,000 Bath
