Projects - Nuclear Decommissioning |
|
Examples of nuclear decommissioning projects undertaken by AdvanSci staff include:
| Oldbury CW Forebay contamination assessment |
| Client: | Magnox Limited |
| Scope: | Application of early stages of
the Data Quality Objectives (DQO) process to provide confidence in the absence of
potential radioactive contamination in the CW intake forebay structure at Oldbury
power station, prior to potential early delicensing. |
| Dounreay Site Closure Project |
| Client: | Dounreay Site Restoration Limited |
| Scope: | Review of technical requirements,
practicability and feasibility of alternative decommissioning strategies for several
major facilities on the Dounreay site |
| Dounreay Shaft ILW retrieval project |
| Client: | UKAEA |
| Scope: |
Engineering studies for recovery of Intermediate Level Waste from 65m deep
disposal shaft at Dounreay, including:
- assessment of structural design, foundation stability,
infrastructure requirements and buildability issues for two waste
retrieval concepts
- detailed study to assess feasibility of constructing a parallel
shaft for waste recovery,
including rock stability, excavatability, M&E and safety aspects
- environmental impact assessments for three waste retrieval concepts, including
quantification of secondary waste streams
- implications of surface contamination for construction and
subsequent removal of working platform for shaft grout isolation
|
| Windscale Pile 1 |
| Client: | UKAEA |
| Scope: | Engineering option
studies into the potential of various technologies for use in
decommissioning the fire-damaged core of the Pile 1 reactor at
Sellafield, including:
- filling the core with hard-setting liquids
- cooling and refrigeration
- drilling and coring

These are just examples to illustrate the range of work
performed. For further information on any of these projects, or our other experience, please
