11 Turn-key installations Waste sorting and conditioning unit, EDF/AMI Chinon /2002 This unit allows to sort waste thanks to a shielded tight cell equipped with remote controlled robotized handling means. These waste are sorted according to their physico-chemical properties and radiological characteristics. Then, they are reconditioned for shipment to ANDRA s or other sites. This installation is composed of three areas: a sorting cell, made of concrete, totally lined with a stainless steel sleeve, equipped with telemanipulators, an overhead crane, a cutting press, and a spectrometry control station. This cell is a fire-barrier with regard to its environment, and is dimensioned to stand a seism. a loading/sealing station, with conveyors and elevators for leading new drums under two tight hatches communicating with the sorting cell, and two drum sealers, an evacuation lock-chamber equipped with an automatic device measuring the contamination by rubbing.

38 -absorbing and thermal shielding materials Compound ROBATEL no. 9 This neutron absorbing material can be used for any shielding that cannot stand special thermal or mechanical strains. It should preferably be poured into metallic casings, tightly closed in order to keep the best efficiency (under normal conditions). If there is no metallic casing, one must take into account the decreasing quantity of free water by drying. This material has been tested by irradiation up to an integrated flux of thermal neutron/cm². No apparent damage has been noted. Main chemical components: boron, calcium, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur. Density 1.20 to 1.25 g/cm3. Material validated by CEA, COGEMA, EDF. Compound ROBATEL no. 10 CP9 wall (PPB) This material, derived from compound no 9, can be used for shielding subject to low thermal trains. It is set in place the same way as compound no 9. This material has been tested by irradiation up to an integrated flux of thermal neutron/cm². No apparent damage has been noted. Main chemical components: boron, calcium, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur. Density 1.15 to 1.20 g/cm3.

39 Compound ROBATEL no. 21 This neutron absorbing material is basically composed of polyester resin. Its properties are independent of any confinement. It is generally molded to suitable shape and dimensions, and it can, if necessary, be machined. It allows to produce neutron shielding equipment with a good thermal and mechanical strength. This material has been tested by irradiation up to an integrated flux of thermal neutrons/cm². No apparent damage has been noted. Main chemical components: aluminum, boron, calcium, carbon, chlorine, hydrogen, oxygen. Density 1.25 to 1.30 g/cm3. Material validated by CEA, COGEMA, EDF. Compound ROBATEL n 22 This neutron absorbing material is derived from compound No. 21. Its properties are independent of any confinement. It is generally molded to suitable shape and dimensions, and it can, if necessary, be machined. It allows to produce neutron shielding equipment with a very good mechanical strength. Its efficiency, slightly lower than that of compound No. 21, is counterbalanced by a high thermal resistance. This material has been tested by irradiation up to an integrated flux of thermal neutrons/cm². No apparent damage has been noted. Density 1.20 to 1.25 g/cm3. Material validated by CEA, COGEMA, EDF. Compound ROBATEL PNT7 This neutron absorbing material, that appears like a fine mortar, can be used for any shielding subject to important thermal and mechanical strains. It should preferably be set into metallic casings, tightly closed in order to keep its best efficiency (under normal conditions). If there is no metallic casing, one must take into account the decreasing quantity of free water by drying. The surface of the raw mortar has exactly the same aspect as that of the mold. Its ability to be decontaminated can be improved by adding a coating material. The fire tests performed on this compound resulted in its classification as M0 material. Main chemical components: aluminum, boron, calcium, iron, hydrogen, oxygen. Density 1.90 to 1.93 g/cm3 Material validated by CEA, COGEMA, EDF, and US Department of Energy.
