Abstract:
The raw and conditioned operational waste streams of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) was determined by reviewing numerous plant’s documents (such as FSAR and operational documents) as well as by interviewing with persons in charge of BNPP waste management office. It was found that low/intermediate (type І and ІІ) level operational waste streams generated in BNPP is divided into eight independent streams. By using gamma emitting radionuclides as virtual DTM nuclides and determination of scaling factors for these nuclides, it was concluded that all the 8 waste streams can be grouped into one, that is, a universal scaling factor can be applied for all the 8 waste streams. In addition the number of pre-samples (of which the final samples is selected) and the required number of final samples were also determined as 40 and 20, respectively. Finally, item such as sample labeling design and sample containers material were also determined
