Construction of light-type hangar storage began at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) for storage of 1300 reinforced concrete containers with radioactive waste. This was reported by the press service of ZNPP.
Serhii Pykhtin, deputy head of the decontamination workshop for radioactive waste operation and management, said that as of today, the storage facilities, provided by the project for six power units, are running out of space.
“They are about 90 per cent filled”, Pykhtin noted.
According to the project, at the Zaporizhzhia NPP in the 1980s a place was allocated for the capital reinforced concrete repository for radioactive waste (RW) storage like those operating today.
The capital storage project was redesigned as a light type storage. In general, it can simultaneously accommodate 5200 containers with waste.
Today, builders and contractor use special reinforced concrete piles, a sort of the foundation “cushion”. Next year they are going to build the wall structures, as the storage is light, but it is still a closed facility.
