Abstract
IPPE JSC has developed a method of solid-phase oxidation (SPO) of alkali metals with copper smelting slag, which must be worked out in relation to the entire chain of work with radioactive sodium of the 1st circuit and implemented in plants that meet modern safety requirements.
The main way of research is the development of a fully functional sample of a scaled MINERAL unit and storage at the final burial stage of sodium recycled into “stone” (in a slag-like compound according to RB-155-20 terminology, SPO). One of the tasks was to building out preliminary calculations to determine the dose gamma fields when loading a reaction vessel with a solid product of sodium processing in the form of SLC in two versions of the unit MINERAL.
Studies were aimed at selecting a container, determining the initial data for the calculated modeling of various options for determining dose gamma fields when loading a reaction container with a solid product of sodium processing.
The basis for the study was the spent alkaline coolant (radioactive waste Na, Na-K alloy with Hg impurities) of the BR-10 research reactor, which operated with different types of fuel (PuO2, UO2, UC, UN) in the period 1956–2002.
