Muon tomography was recently proposed as a tool to inspect large volumes with the purpose of recognizing high density materials immersed in lower density matrices. The MU-STEEL European project (RFCS-CT-2010-000033) studied the application of such a technique to detect radioactive source shielding in truck containers filled with scrap metals entering steel mill foundries. A description of the muon tomography technique, of the MU-STEEL project and of the obtained results will be presented.

The soil is considered to be one of the most important substances for the existence of the biotic community. The quality of the soil is continually degrading due to the continuous exploitation of human activity. The superiority of a soil is rated on the basis of its chemical and physical characteristics. The contaminants added to the soil mainly because of human activity change the usual function and ecological properties and cause of negative impacts on agricultural productivity and soil health. The property of the soil is potentially affected by urban wastes, industrial wastes, sewage water, mining wastes, oil, radioactive wastes, deforestation, and massive use of fertilizers and pesticides. Heavy metal contamination of the soil is a vital environmental problem because it is the cause of adverse effects on the biological community through the contamination of the food chain. A continuous exposure of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the landfill sites causes leachate formation; this is percolated inside the soil leading to the change in properties.

The decommissioning of a Nuclear Power Plant leads to the generation of a high volume of metallic waste, of which a large quantity can be recycled, after separating it from radioactive metal. The methodology that allows to separate radioactive metal from non-radioactive metal is an essential part of Decommissioning, and it requires complex equipment, procedures and controls, both inside Enresa and external (Regulatory Body). After undergoing these controls, most of the metallic material is sent to recycling facilities, where it is mixed with a much larger proportion of metal coming from conventional scrap yards, both here in Spain and abroad. In recent years, there have been a few incidents in melting plants, due to the presence of undetected radioactive material among certain batches of scrap metal. In order to tackle the public concern associated with potential risk, a series of measures have been designed to prevent these incidents or minimise their effects, should they occur. The following presentation will first describe the Spanish protocol established by different national institutions to prevent the presence of radioactive waste among the raw material for recycling, should this occur detect and control it, and secondly the methodology that guarantees that Enresa does not erroneously send radioactive material arising from the decommissioning of nuclear power plants to any smelting facility.

Abstract Recycling of slightly radioactively contaminated steel scrap from nuclear installations to waste containers, shieldings or any other components for the nuclear cycle is practice in Germany since the early 90ies. To qualify the process, characterization of the radiological inventories in metal, slag and filter dust as well as metallurgical analysis is necessary. Therefore samples from the melt, slag and filter dust are taken to be analyzed by gammaspectroscopy. Alpha and beta emitting radionuclide inventories are calculated based on the typical nuclide ratio of the nuclear facility where the scrap results from. Activity distribution factors for each radio element are empirical values based on the melting of about 10,000 t of steel scrap with various nuclide ratios. High decontamination of the metal can be achieved for uranium, thorium, plutonium, cesium and strontium, which allows free release of the metal in most cases. For Co60 — the main radionuclide in reactor scrap — the decontamination by melting is limited and in most cases the strong criteria for free release can not be yielded. Such metal can be used for manufacturing cast iron components like containers or shieldings. To manage the expected large amount of metallic waste resulting from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities recycling is well developed and accepted in Germany. By the high cost of intermediate and final storage of nuclear waste recycling is a very economical alternative (3, 4).

The international metal processing industries are very concerned about the importation of scrap metal contaminated by radioactivity. Many of the problems are being identified while these materials, either unprocessed scrap, or processed materials, are being transported in the public domain. Because of this concern, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), with the support of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) circulated a survey to various countries and interested groups. Following assessment of the survey, a meeting was convened in April 2004 to discuss and evaluate the issues. Three major issues were identified at the initial meeting. • First, an internationally acceptable scrap metal radiation monitoring and response protocol is needed. • Second, international training programs are needed to address multiple areas, almost all having emphasis on the transport mode; these include addressing such topics as protocol implementation, optimum location of monitors, acceptable detector sensitivities, calibration and maintenance needs, incident reporting, handling radioactive materials after detection. • Third, international information exchange within the scrap metal industry is needed to share data and experiences on contaminated scrap incidents, especially those occurring at international borders during the transport of these materials. The “open border” policy of the European Union makes the collection and dissemination of this information sharing particularly time critical. The paper reviews the results of the initial meeting, and elaborates on the efforts undertaken since that meeting.

At KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Institute), radioactive soil and concrete wastes with extremely low level of activity were regulatory cleared in 2008 and large amount of spent drums remained. After generation, drums having good physical integrity reused for packaging radioactive wastes and about 50 tons of drums unsuitable for reuse were stored as radioactive wastes. Having once been used for packaging regulatory cleared radioactive wastes, these spent drums were determined to be regulatory cleared. Before regulatory clearance, steel drums were radiation monitored, washed with pressurized water two times, compacted and stored at a designated area. Based on radiological dose assessment results using a recycling scenario derived from actual situation, the regulatory clearance of steel drums was permitted by the regulatory body. Treatment of the regulatory cleared drums was then committed to a scrap-metal dealer for recycling. In this study, a process of regulatory clearance for spent steel drums and a modified radiological dose assessment model for staff members of a scrap-metal dealer will be discussed.

In ASME 2001 8th International Conference on Radioactive Waste Management and Environmental Remediation. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2001-1230.
Abstract An assessment was performed of Russian needs and capabilities related to decommissioning wastes from nuclear submarines. Hydraulically operated hand-held metal cutting tools can provide improved productivity and safety during the size and volume reduction of bulky metal scrap. Such tools are commercially available in the US, but not in Russia. Also, they have not been previously deployed in Arctic conditions. A system of metal cutting and spreading tools has been procured, modified and successfully tested at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), and are now being deployed to Russia’s Northern Fleet.

"The Belgian Approach and Status on the Radiological Surveillance of Radioactive Substances in Metal Scrap and Non-Radioactive Waste and the Financing of Orphan Sources." In The 11th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and Radioactive Waste Management. ASMEDC, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2007-7096.
Numerous facilities in the non-nuclear sector in Belgium (e.g. in the non-radioactive waste processing and management sector and in the metal recycling sector) have been equipped with measuring ports for detecting radioactive substances. These measuring ports prevent radioactive sources or radioactive contamination from ending up in the material fluxes treated by the sectors concerned. They thus play an important part in the protection of the workers and the people living in the neighbourhood of the facilities, as well as in the protection of the population and the environment in general. In 2006, Belgium’s federal nuclear control agency (FANC/AFCN) drew up guidelines for the operators of non-nuclear facilities with a measuring port for detecting radioactive substances. These guidelines describe the steps to be followed by the operators when the port’s alarm goes off. Following the publication of the European guideline 2003/122/Euratom of 22 December 2003 on the control of high-activity sealed radioactive sources and orphan sources, a procedure has been drawn up by FANC/AFCN and ONDRAF/NIRAS, the Belgian National Agency for Radioactive Waste and Enriched Fissile Materials, to identify the responsible to cover the costs relating to the further management of detected sealed sources and if not found to declare the sealed source as an orphan source. In this latter case and from mid-2006 the insolvency fund managed by ONDRAF/NIRAS covers the cost of radioactive waste management. At the request of the Belgian government, a financing proposal for the management of unsealed orphan sources as radioactive waste was also established by FANC/AFCN and ONDRAF/NIRAS. This proposal applies the same approach as for sealed sources and thus the financing of unsealed orphan sources will also be covered by the insolvency fund.
