5 – Repository ModulesFigure 5.3.20General layout <strong>of</strong> type CU1 working unitUnlike the case <strong>of</strong> type C packages, for which differences in thermal dimensioning have been notedbetween one type <strong>of</strong> package <strong>and</strong> the other, the thermal dimensioning <strong>of</strong> type CU1 <strong>and</strong> CU2 packagesis roughly the same.5.3.5 The CU3 moduleThe thermal <strong>and</strong> dimensional characteristics <strong>of</strong> type CU3 <strong>and</strong> C0 packages are similar. At this stage <strong>of</strong>the studies, this allows the design <strong>of</strong> a CU3 module to be based on that <strong>of</strong> a C0 module.In the reference solution, the cell does not have a buffer. Thanks to their low heat load, the packagesare disposed in them without spacers. The inter-axial distance between cells is 8.5 meters (identical tothat <strong>of</strong> type C0 cells)The access drift for type CU3 packages is similar to that <strong>of</strong> type C0 packages, except for its width,which needs to be increased by approximately 40 cm to allow the type CU3 transfer cask to passthrough.DOSSIER 2005 ARGILE -ARCHITECTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM250/495
