Fuel management

The relevant national authorities are now studying the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.

(b) Universalization and further strengthening of the IAEA Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management

While the report did not recommend placement of older spent fuel into dry storage casks, it did advise the less expensive method of rearranging spent fuel in the pools so that hotter, newly discharged fuel would be surrounded by cooler, older spent fuel.

Instead, it is stored in spent fuel pools.

Non destructive measurements were performed on the irradiated fuel in the spent fuel storage.

Audit of fuel management

Operative paragraph 8 of the draft resolution refers to the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.

Noting with satisfaction that the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management entered into force on 18 June 2001,

No reprocessing or export of spent fuel has ever taken place.

Japan, which is poor in energy resources, utilizes nuclear fuel that is extracted by processing plutonium from spent fuel.

In reactors, the radioactive products are the nuclear waste in spent fuel.

Within this overall context of nuclear security, it is studying the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management in the relevant national forums.

Requests the Secretary General to review all aspects of fuel management, including the preparation of a comprehensive fuel management manual, implementation of the electronic fuel accounting system, development of standard operating procedures on fuel management and preparation of an annual fuel procurement plan, and to report on the status of implementation

Increasingly, time will have to be spent looking for fuel or fetching water.

Valuable information about the history of the spent fuel was thereby irretrievably lost.

Several decades from now, reprocessing might offer a safe means of spent fuel disposal.

Taking note of the importance of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management with respect to the safety of the end of life of radioactive sources,

The European Union stresses the importance of the Convention on Nuclear Safety and the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, and also their peer review mechanisms.

Taking note of the importance of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management with respect to the safety of the end of life of radioactive sources,

About 25 years ago, the German government began requiring spent fuel to be well protected.

You probably spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on fuel and photocopying and per diem.

Countries that wish to develop nuclear energy but not nuclear bombs should be given international guarantees of fuel supply and disposal of spent fuel.

On 5 September 1997 in Vienna, the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management was adopted, as recommended by the participants in the Summit on Nuclear Safety and Security.

Chemical compounds including such material and plutonium in spent fuel elements also belong to this category.

Data from the installed spent fuel rod counter were collected for evaluation and comparison with records.

The older spent fuel that has cooled for about five years is placed in hardened, dry storage casks, and the younger, more radioactive, and hotter spent fuel is cooled in pools of water surrounded by strong containment structures.

a Includes 3.4 million spent on the Galileo inventory management system.

Industry has also been concerned about minimizing workers exposure to radiation when they transfer spent fuel to casks. Moreover, there is a risk of further radiation exposure during the transfer of spent fuel from the casks to permanent storage.

Of equal concern to Ukraine is the problem of the disposal of spent fuel from the plant.

It remains committed to handling the waste contained in spent fuel in a safe and appropriate manner.

Austria is party to both the Convention on Nuclear Safety as well as the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management and has actively participated in the review conferences of these conventions.
