IFMIF-DONES irradiated materials and rad-waste management strategy

Abstract This paper establishes the premises under which the Irradiated Materials and Radioactive Waste Strategy has been implemented in IFMIF-DONES. It starts by exposing the applicable regulatory framework taking into consideration the classification of the facility as a First Category Radioactive Facility as per the Spanish Regulatory Body, Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear. Then, it analyses the radioactive products present in IFMIF-DONES as a result of the normal operation of the plant. Finally, it describes the materialization of the previous analysis in the current design of the area dedicated to the radioactive products management, the so-called Radioactive Materials Treatment System. In this section, it is explained in brief the origin of the conceptual design and the framework of its evolution. The final conclusions state the level of the design and the future works prior to the construction phase. It also sets the ongoing and future works to be carried out.
