The disposal volumes provided are based on the assumption that no additional packaging or<br />
overpacking is required to dispose of these waste containers.<br />
The waste volumes for combustible waste, redundant metal components and oil are the<br />
estimated volumes of the residual waste that must be deposited in the disposal site. As these<br />
wastes are shipped for off-site treatment and conditioning, the volumes reported will be residual<br />
volumes generated at the processing site rather than at the NPP. Additional secondary waste<br />
volumes generated at the site of processing (e.g. protective clothing, residuals from off gas<br />
filters at the incinerator) are possible but these are not included in the estimates given in the<br />
table. Table 15 lists some of the waste package types that may be used.<br />
ILW that will meet the LLW threshold limits during the timescales for decay storage on site prior<br />
to disposal off-site may be packaged in primary containers only.<br />
7.4.3 ILW Packaging<br />
The waste packages to be used for ILW will, as far as possible, be designed to be used with<br />
generic handling equipment and storage or disposal concepts. The majority of waste packages<br />
are based on a standard design of 500 litre drum, as defined by the NDA. Although the external<br />
dimensions, lifting features and mass limits are common to all designs the internal design can<br />
vary to accommodate different waste types. For example, a 500 l drum may have internal<br />
shielding, may be designed for direct encapsulation of waste or may be designed to receive a<br />
smaller drum that will then be grouted in place.
