EPR UK N° NESH-G/2008/en/0123 REV. A PAGE 246 / 257 Storage vaults will be designed to withstand seismic loads while retaining their shielding and cooling functions, and protecting the canister, fuel and handling features. Structures will be designed with sufficient rigidity to limit displacements in the DBE so that the canister remains recoverable. The most onerous case is likely to be an earthquake during spent fuel transfer between transport container and unloading cell, or into or out of the canister handling machine. Positioning features will be designed accordingly. Aircraft crash Facilities are designed against an aircraft crash.
EPR UK N° NESH-G/2008/en/0123 REV. A PAGE 247 / 257 14 TRANSPORTATION 14.1 Regulatory Baseline The British Regulations are based upon the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials. The objective of these Regulations is to protect persons, property and the environment from the effects of radiation during the transport of radioactive material. This protection is achieved by requiring: (a) containment of the radioactive contents; (b) control of external radiation levels; (c) prevention of criticality; and (d) prevention of damage caused by heat. These requirements are satisfied firstly by applying a graded approach to contents limits for packages and conveyances and to performance standards applied to package designs depending upon the hazard of the radioactive contents. Secondly, they are satisfied by imposing requirements on the design and operation of packages and on the maintenance of packaging, including a consideration of the nature of the radioactive contents. Finally, they are satisfied by requiring administrative controls including, where appropriate, approval by competent authorities. It can be noted that according the “Memorandum of Understanding on Approval of Certificates relating to the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material for Civil Purposes” issued on February 2006 by the Department for Transport of the United Kingdom and the Directorate general for nuclear safety and radiation protection of the Republic of France, each competent authority accepts approvals issued by the other competent authority as evidence that the design of a package meets the requirements for package design contained in the IAEA Regulations. In other words, approvals granted in France by TN International would be accepted in the United Kingdom. 14.1.1 Basic Regulations The transport solutions shall comply with the following main current transport regulations: · Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2007 (CDG 2007); · “Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials” of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - TS-R-1 (Transport Safety Rev.1) Edition 2005; · European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR); · Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID), · International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code – IMO.
