Creating Standardised Waste Packages
This page contains Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) Waste Package Specifications and Guidance for waste packages destined for geological disposal.
NWS have produced a suite of specifications and guidance for the safe disposal of the UK바카라 사이트™s Low Heat Generating Waste (LHGW), High Heat Generating Waste (HHGW) and Depleted Natural Low Enriched Uranium (DNLEU). The Waste Package Specifications and Guidance form a suite of documentation that are organised on the website as shown in the interactive figure below. The specifications are organised in a hierarchical structure where the requirements from the Disposal System Specification (DSS) Part A cascade through to the Waste Package Specifications (WPS) Part D in increasing detail. The role of each specification is as follows:
- The Disposal System Specification Part A defines the high level requirements for the Disposal System.
- The Disposal System Specification Part B defines the technical specification for the Disposal System.
- The Part C Specifications define the envelope in which to develop new waste package designs for their chosen category of waste.
- The Part D Specifications detail existing container specific requirements.
Guidance provides supporting information and considerations to ensure the requirements in the Part C and D Specifications are achieved.
