12.2.1 Main Systems And Facilities<br />
12.2.1.1 Reception And Shipping Area<br />
The on-site transport of the waste packages will be carried out using a shielded transport<br />
vehicle, if required.<br />
The reception and shipping area will be designed to receive both shielded and unshielded waste<br />
packages from the WTB. The ISF crane will be able to access the receipt and dispatch area via<br />
a hatch for loading/unloading the packages from and to a truck. Handling of the waste packages<br />
inside the storage area will be performed remotely.<br />
12.2.1.2 Shielded Transport Container Loading/Unloading Section<br />
The shielded container will be transferred from the transport vehicle by crane to the shielded<br />
container loading and unloading section, which will be located adjacent to the concrete storage<br />
compartments.<br />
Prior to removal of the drums and containers from the shielded transport container the lid will be<br />
removed from the shielded container and laid down.<br />
12.2.1.3 Storage Compartment Loading And Unloading Area<br />
The storage compartment loading and unloading area is located directly above the concrete<br />
storage compartments. This area will be supplied with an overhead crane that permits access to<br />
the individual concrete storage compartments.<br />
The storage compartment loading/unloading area extends above the receipt/dispatch area and<br />
all other auxiliary supporting areas/rooms.
