Sellafield Ltd is seeking an in-situ method to determine the integrity and function of primary filters in Self Shielded Boxes (SSBs), which provide interim storage for nuclear fuel-derived wastes.
Sellafield Ltd stores fuel-bearing radioactive waste in Self Shielded Boxes (SSBs), which may require safe interim storage for several decades. SSBs have filters that enable gas exchange while containing radioactive particles.
This challenge aims to identify a solution to measure or monitor filter integrity, ideally without removing filters or breaking containment. A successful solution could reduce the need to move SSBs, replace filters unnecessarily or break containment, while improving understanding of filter performance. This could deliver significant safety, cost and time savings and increase regulatory and stakeholder confidence.
