Major recent works: Preliminary safety analysis report for the Baita Bihor Repository

Client: Central Finance and Contracts Unit, Ministry of Public Finance, Romania under EuropeAid/117365/D/SV/RO & RO 2002/000 632.08.01

In December 2004, Quintessa Limited was awarded a contract under EuropeAid’s PHARE programme by the Central Finance and Contracts Unit, Ministry of Public Finance, Romania, to develop the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) for the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Repository Baita Bihor, Romania. The Project Beneficiary was the Romanian National Institute of R&D for Physics and Nuclear Engineering - Horia Hulubei (IFIN-HH)) which currently owns and operates the Baita Bihor repository. The overall objective of the project was to carry out an in-depth analysis of the operational and post-closure safety of the repository through technical assistance based on best international practices.

The following organizations were part to the production and review of this work:

• Quintessa Limited

• Center of Technology and Engineering for Nuclear Projects – CITON • Mike Thorne and Associates Limited

• Geo Prospect SRL

• IC Consultants Limited

• Institute for Nuclear Research

Major recent works: Preliminary safety analysis report for the Baita Bihor Repository

The DNDR (Radioactive Waste National Repository) Baita Bihor is located in two disused exploration galleries of the Baita uranium mine. The Baita Bihor repository was designated to accommodate around 5000 m3 of conditioned wastes disposed in about 21,000 standard containers (220 L carbon steel drums). Also, some 400 L steel drums are already disposed of in the disposal gallery. The disposal galleries are former exploration galleries that have been enlarged and had a drainage system and appropriate infrastructure installed to make them suitable for waste disposal. In the beginning there was no general reinforcement or waterproofing of the walls or ceilings in the disposal galleries.

Major recent works: Development of the conceptual design for Cernavoda RWTP (Client – former ANDRAD).

Main contractor: NUVIA Ltd.; Subcontractor: Center of Technology and Engineering for Nuclear

Projects

Most of radioactive wastes in Romania are generated by nuclear activities, due to the power generation at Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant. There two units in operation: unit 1, commissioned in 1996 and unit 2, commissioned in 2007. Starting with 2007 the nuclear power production is doubled, and as a result, the radioactive waste volumes increased accordingly. Romanian Nuclear Agency and for Radioactive Waste (AN&DR) strategy for low and intermediate level waste disposal states the commissioning of Final Repository for Low and Intermediate Level Waste – DFDSMA, after 2020. AN&DR will be responsible for the same management of LILW and for this facility. Wastes arising from Cernavodă NPP must be treated to meet the acceptance criteria of DFDSMA. For this reason must be commissioned in the following years the Radioactive Waste Treatment Plant – RWTP that is in the responsibility of Cernavodă NPP. This facility has as main requirement the necessity to achieve the treatment and conditioning of radioactive wastes that arise from NPP operation and from future decommissioning activities of the nuclear facilities .

International Research and Development Cooperation

Programs

CITON has active and fruitful international cooperation relations with foreign nuclear-related institutes and organizations. As an example, can be mentioned COG past visit in Romania which included Cernavoda NPP, former RAAN ICN Pitesti and CITON within the COG R& Program;

A significant feature of the international cooperation during last years was the technical – scientific activity realized through the Romanian participation in the EU 5th, 6th an 7th Framework Programs (FP), PHARE projects and bilateral cooperation with EU institutes.

It is worth mentioning the traditional cooperation of CITON with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through national and regional technical cooperation projects or through participation in coordinated research projects.

An important element of international cooperation was the continuous participation of CITON experts in a series of IAEA Advisory Groups, Technical Committees and International Symposia and Conferences.
