In addition to some typographical corrections, the following changes were made to these previously submitted main report: 1) Recommendation #20 no longer requires that CNL confirm whether a DFO permit has been issued for any Chalk River facilities. This recommendation still requests that any assessments accompanying the permit application be provided. Now it also requests a timeline for CNSC staff consideration of the permit; 2) Recommendation #21 no longer requires that CNL confirm whether there are any ECAs for the Chalk River site. This recommendation still requests any assessments that were undertaken to determine whether one was necessary; 3) Discussions of issues concerning DFO permits and ECAs on page 20 have been updated to reflect the fact that Ottawa Riverkeeper is no longer waiting for confirmation of whether there are any DFO permits or ECAs for the Chalk River site. However, formal access to information requests are still ongoing to provide more background information on both DFO and ECA assessments, and CNL has still been asked to provide this information as well; and 4) Discussions of the Port Hope Harbour wall collapse on page 26 have been amended to reflect additional disclosures received since October 7.

  • General Vgs Template
    Chapter 5 - Safety Systems Introduction - Special Safety Systems Functions In previous chapters we have referred to the four safety functions required in a nuclear reactor: • shut down the reactor • remove decay heat • contain any radioactivity • monitor the state of the plant. In this chapter we shall describe the major systems that perform these functions. We shall concentrate on CANDU for our examples, although other reactor types have similar systems. Shutdown Systems Shutdown is one of the most important safety functions in a reactor because it reduces the amount of energy that has to be removed from the fuel after an accident. It is usually accomplished through rapid insertion of a neutron-absorbing material into the core. Another way is to remove from the core material which is essential to the chain reaction - e.g. the moderator. There are more radical concepts possible in principle, such as removing fuel or changing the core geometry, but they are not in widespread use for fast shutdown. Before a shutdown system is designed, the requirements should be defined (although again historically, the two went along together). Here are some of the questions that must be asked, and answered: • how do we get negative reactivity into the core? • how fast does the system have to act, once it receives a signal? • how much reactivity depth must it have (how many negative milli-k?) • how reliable must it be? • what are the acceptance criteria? • what sort of signals are available and practical to trigger the shutdown system for each accident? • what sort of environment must the shutdown system be designed to withstand? • how do we ensure that a fault which could affect the control system or a shutdown system does not affect both? Or both shutdown systems? • how do we know the systems will work as designed? • how does the operator know the system has been required, and that it has worked? 1 Chapter 5 - Safety Systems.wpd Rev.

  • Decommissioning Projects at the Chalk River Laboratories Over the Next 5 Years and the Challenges with Delivery
    Waste Management, Decommissioning and Environmental Restoration for Canada’s Nuclear Activities September 11-14, 2011 CW -508300-CONF-003 UNRESTRICTED DECOMMISSIONING PROJECTS AT THE CHALK RIVER LABORATORIES OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS AND THE CHALLENGES WITH DELIVERY K. Schruder, J. McKenna and A. Winter Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, Chalk River Laboratories Chalk River, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT Nuclear research and development carried out on behalf of the Government of Canada have resulted in 60 years of nuclear legacy liabilities at the Chalk River Laboratories. The liabilities consist of shutdown reactors, research facilities and supporting infrastructure. The Government of Canada in 2006 initiated a five-year, $520 million start-up phase and in April 2011 entered the next 5-year program of decommissioning as part of the long term strategy to address the legacy liabilities. A number of planned projects in Facilities Decommissioning, at the Chalk River Laboratories, have been defined for the next 3 years and will be described in this paper in combination with operational lessons learned for future decommissioning project work. 1. INTRODUCTION The Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) is the Canadian nuclear research facility located near Chalk River, Ontario, approximately 180 km north-west of Ottawa, on the Trans-Canada Highway. CRL is a site of major research and development to support and advance nuclear technology. CRL has expertise in physics, metallurgy, chemistry, biology, and engineering and consists of both operating and shutdown unique research facilities. CRL was conceived in 1942 from collaboration between British and Canadian nuclear researchers, where a research laboratory established in Montreal under the National Research Council of Canada (NRC).
