Waste
Highlight - Transfer of the KC-T12/4
During the type testing for the AGT11, PB250 compacted waste containers were conditioned. In addition, dose rate measurements of the waste packages, gamma scanning, documentation, sealing in contamination-free ZB264 overpacks, loading of the containers into a KC-T12, and transfer of the KC-T12 to the BZL were carried out.
Refurbishment of HZ6
The hot cell 6 is dedicated to the storage and conditioning of high level solid waste. This cell has been completely refurbished in the period 2015 – 2017. This include the complete dismantling and conditioning of the highly fuel contaminated old infrastructure, the cleaning of the cell and the installation and test of the new improved infrastructure.
New sewage cleaning system and tank farm
PSI Hotlab is collecting and radiologically cleaning the entire radioactive waste water from the PSI East side. In the years 2014-2016 a major refurbishment took place, where the old tank farm was decommissioned, and new stainless-steel tanks were installed together with new, modern ultrafiltration systems during normal operation of the lab.
