Dismantling Completion of Turbine Hall Light Roof within NSC Under-the-arch Space

16 February 2018

Completion of this task significantly improves fire safety of the New Safe Confinement.

The sections of potentially inflammable roof of Turbine Hall located in the area of Arch End Walls within axes 60-62 and 38-40 were dismantled under the project of NSC enclosing perimeter which was completed by construction at the end of 2017.

In the first half of February 2018, three sections within axes 52-54, 56-58 and 60-62 were dismantled. Consequently, the whole area of the roof defined by the design was dismantled.

The work was carried out with two cranes whose lifting power makes 300 and 270 tons. One of them was positioned on the pioneer wall and the other one - to the north of Shelter Deaerator Stack within the NSC temporary storage area.

Currently, the activities associated with cutting the dismantled structures and their removal to specially equipped area for their storage are underway. The dismantled slabs are decontaminated if necessary.

As of February 15, 2018, about 15 % of the dismantled slabs have been removed.

During the work period, the reference levels of external exposure (13 mSv) established for the NOVARKA (Contracting organization) personnel were not exceeded. No emergencies or incidents were recorded.

At ISF-2 preparation for the HI-TRAC-H on-site transfer cask testing is underway

15 February 2018

A series of technological operations was done to perfection as part of the preparation for the on-site transfer cask (OTC) testing. In particular, 71-tons OTC was installed on the trolley of the canisters handling and transportation system, after that the OTC was delivered to one of the premises of the Spent Fuel Processing Facility. Further using the crane with loading capacity of 125 tons, the OTC was lifted to the vertical position and moved to one of the special carriages.

The HI-TRAC-H OTC is the most important equipment ensuring the safety during spent nuclear fuel handling at ISF-2. It performs the radiation protection functions for personnel and provides heat removal during operations for SNF drying, DWC filling with helium and DWC welding, transportation and loading into the Concrete Storage Module. This is one of the key elements of the temporary dry storage system implemented at ISF-2 for ChNPP RBMK-1000 spent nuclear fuel long-term interim storage.
