Area Tematica: Metrology - waste management

Tipo Progetto: JRP - Joint research project

Descrizione:

It is imperative that the thousands of tonnes of low and intermediate level radioactive wastes arising each year from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and the clearance of sites are disposed of in a manner which is (i) safe, (ii) secure, (iii) socially-acceptable, and (iv) cost-effective. Key metrological problems must be addressed if the nuclear and ionising radiation industry is to achieve these goals. These include the needs for novel methods, standards, decay data, reference materials and instruments for radioactive waste measurements. Only accurate and traceable measurements will ensure waste is consigned to the correct waste stream. This JRP will address these needs via a programme of research in the ionising radiation and environmental areas by improving the instruments, measurement methods, reference materials and decay data to be used. During the project, standardised traceable measurement methods for solid radioactive waste free release and for acceptance to repositories, novel instruments and methods for in-situ measurements, gaseous effluent monitor/sampler for stored wastes and standards and ‘spiked’ or characterized ‘real’ reference materials will be developed and decay data for long-lived radionuclides improved. The proposed scientific and technological methodology is a sound concept because it solves present metrology problems in radioactive waste management, identified by thirteen European metrology institutes as most significant.

Attività svolta da ENEA:

L'ENEA prende parte alla gestione complessiva del progetto (WP7) e partecipa alle seguenti attività: WP1 - development of a standandised traceable measurment methods for solid radioactive waste clearance (free release) and disposal, WP2 - development of in situ measurement methods; WP3 - development of measurement methods for gaseous effluents; WP4 - development of reference material; WP6 - creating impact (trasferimento dei risultati agli utilizzatori esterni).
