Test methods for cementitious seal materials for borehole disposal.

Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/31203.http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/31203The Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN-CNEN/SP) in Sao Paulo-Brazil, is considering borehole disposal of disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRS), which were used in smoke detectors, lightning arrestors, radiotherapy, industrial gauges, irradiators, and other applications. The current IPEN concept of borehole is a modified BOSS system developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It differs from the IAEA’s design in that the disposal zone is below 300 m, and the DSRS are placed directly in the disposal packages constituted of stainless steel containers with 1.5 L capacity. A borehole drilled through sediment and granite, stabilized with stainless steel casing and cement grout is proposed for the conceptual model. Standard cement-material test methods and performance specific test methods, including accelerated aging methods, are needed for modeling the performance of the candidate cementitious grouts. A cross-disciplinary team from the USA Savannah River National laboratory is providing technical assistance to IPEN in this performance assessment.1-13closedAccessboreholescementsgranitesradiation sourcesradioactive waste disposalstainless steelsunderground disposalTexto completo de evento0000-0003-3010-9691https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3010-9691
