Maintenance Implementation of RY-I Spent Fuel Transport Containers and Its Experience Feedback
With the development of the nuclear industry for decades in China,the amount of radioactive waste generated by nuclear power plants and other research reactors is gradually increasing,the demand for the transporta-tion of radioactive waste and spent fuel is also increasing,and the key to the safe transportation of spent fuel lies in a transport container.A RY-I spent fuel transport container is a spent fuel transport container for 49-2 and 49-3 re-actors,which was designed by the Second Research Institute of China National Nuclear Corporation and success-fully tested under normal transportation conditions and accident conditions in accordance with Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material at the nuclear container test site of the 523 plant from October to December in 1990.This article mainly introduces the maintenance of the RY-I spent fuel transportation container,including its visual check,structural check and leakage check,to ensure its normal use after maintenance.It summarizes the work in the maintenance process,such as replacing O-rings,cleaning the inner walls of containers and pressing for leak-age checks.It analyzes the causes of issues that arise in the maintenance process,improves them and gives feedback on their experience.
