1 AECL s Decommissioning Activities Presentation to the IAEA Technical Meeting International Decommissioning Network Joan Miller General Manager Decommissioning & Waste Management 2007 November
2 Presentation Outline AECL in Canada s nuclear history Current decommissioning and major waste management projects at Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) and Whiteshell Laboratories (WL) Network contributions & benefits
3 Historical Perspective Defence mission, Montreal 1942 Co-60 cancer therapy technology pioneered CRL established AECL created as a Crown Corporation >30 CANDU power reactors Advanced reactor design & engineering Advanced material research Fuel development Isotope production Decommissioning/ waste management Reactor products/services AECL Today 1962 The Future CANDU prototype (NPD) supplies first power to grid Next generation reactors Advanced reactor development (Gen IV) Reactor products/services Decommissioning/waste management of AECL sites and commercial services NPD G1 WL DP SP CRL
4 The Nuclear Legacy Liability Associated with AECL Sites Buildings, facilities & sites shut down over last 60 yrs Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) (Ontario) Whiteshell Laboratories (WL) (Manitoba) three prototype reactors - NPD, DP (Ontario), G1 (Quebec) Waste management facilities at CRL and WL Numerous waste management areas, some dating as far back as 1946 Over 75 types of reactor fuels in tile holes, some degraded High-level radioactive liquid wastes Contaminated lands Plumes from historic practices/events
5 Chalk River & Whiteshell Laboratories Whiteshell Chalk River
6 Prototype Power Reactors
7 Canadian Approach to Decommissioning Initiate - safely shut down redundant facility Define - assess decommissioning risks, costs, wastes Enable - put in place decommissioning approvals, funds, staff, facilities Mitigate - reduce/control immediate safety, health and environmental risks Achieve Endstate - decontaminate and dismantle facility to remove liability
8 Key Outcomes at CRL - First Five Years Transfer over 20 redundant contaminated buildings from Operations to Decommissioning Secure CNSC approvals & decommission selected buildings (>10) Complete Liquid Waste Transfer & Storage Project Complete Fuel Packaging & Storage Project Complete CRL Waste Analysis Facility (to minimize quantities of waste otherwise directed to expensive storage/disposal facilities) Complete facility to treat WMA A groundwater plume Engage public on overall strategy/plan, and adjust plan accordingly
9 Key Outcomes at WL - First Five Years Complete WL Phase 1 decommissioning - achieve safe shutdown & storage-with-surveillance state Adopt accelerated site decommissioning plan - from 60 years to ~30 years Decommission B300 nuclear research complex and B400 engineering complex Decommission redundant non-nuclear structures (>10) Complete engineering assessment of Waste Management Area and advance design/licensing for remediation work Shutdown powerhouse heating system; install localized systems Complete WL Waste Analysis Facility Place Underground Research Laboratory in safe shutdown state, demolish surface structures & advance final closure
10 CRL Liquid Waste Transfer & Storage Project Objectives: Retrieve 300 m 3 of liquids from 21 underground tanks Transfer and consolidate wastes in two new tanks Condition wastes for future solidification
11 CRL Fuel Packaging & Storage Project Objectives: Retrieve degraded fuel from ~100 early tile holes Dry / repackage fuels Place fuels in new above-ground vault
12 Decommissioning Progress Radioisotope Laboratory Building Removal at CRL Before After
13 Ground Water Remediation Technology Capture Zone Curtain of Reactive Media Waterloo Barrier Cutoff Wall Level Control Manhole To Creek Wall & Curtain Groundwater Mitigation Gross Beta (Bq/L) Gross Beta of Effluent Inflow: 85 Bq/L 90 Sr Outflow: <0.3 Bq/L 90 Sr Drinking Water Limit: 5 Bq/L 0.0 Dec-98 Dec-99 Dec-00 Dec-01 Dec-02 Dec-03 Dec-04 Time
14 Whiteshell Decommissioning Shielded Facilities
15 Field Work Completed - Hot Cells 6-12 & Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

17 Program planning Contribution to Network Initiate, define and enable Research sites, or facility-specific (e.g., prototype reactor) Experience associated with physical work Preliminary activities to ensure health, safety & environmental safety (mitigate and enable) Longer-term Storage with Surveillance (mitigate) Physical decommissioning (achieve endstate, remove liability)
18 Benefits From Network Experience associated with physical work Physical decommissioning (achieve endstate, remove liability) Waste Management Waste management challenges from physical decommissioning Transition from storage to long-term storage/disposal
