Radwaste: status & way forward ESHAC #7 2017-10-09 Per Persson Radioactive Waste Manager www.europeanspallationsource.se

Radioactive Waste Management General approach ESS is adopting to the existing Swedish system.

Radioactive Waste Management Two facilities for treatment of radioactive waste Waste Building: for all liquid waste, all resins and solid waste with less than 10 mSv/h at the surface. Active Cells: for solid waste with more than 10 mSv/h at the surface.

Radioactive Waste Management Status: Waste Building: The preliminary design for the Waste Building (H09) is to be finished within a month. 2017 November 10th preliminary design review (PDR) 2017 Q4 start of the detailed design 2017 Q4 start the procurement of equipment 2018 Q2 start the construction of H09 2019 Q3 construction finished 2019 Q4 installation of non-CF equipment 2020 Q1 start of the testing/trial operation 2020 Q3 H09 in operation Active Cells: Under construction. In operation 2021 Q1.

Radioactive Waste Management The way forward September 28th ESS submitted a plan “Action plan for radioactive waste, decommissioning and costs” (ESS-0131423) to The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and it will be presented October 17th. The Plan is divided into several areas, corresponding to the special conditions given by SSM, and for each area there are deliverables fulfilling the requirements.

Radioactive Waste Management The way forward Warm LINAC (<75 MeV) To be reported to SSM Considerations to decommissioning in the design of the facility Storage of radioactive substances and radioactive waste Radiological environmental impact assessments for events in the waste facility Waste management plan for Warm LINAC Transport plan for Warm LINAC Preparations at site Temporary solutions for handling potential radioactive waste. According to Accelerator, all activated components is to be reused and nothing will be classified as waste.

Radioactive Waste Management The way forward Cold LINAC (<570 MeV) (Beam on dump) To be reported to SSM A description of implemented emission control solutions, which should include an account of the waste facility's capacity for treating water from different sources together with a justification for capacity being sufficient for ESS needs. Waste management plan for Cold LINAC Transport plan for Cold LINAC

Radioactive Waste Management The way forward Intentional neutron production (Beam on target) To be reported to SSM Preliminary plans for all radioactive waste and agreements with approved waste disposal handlers Plan for financing, operational and decommissioning Control of handled waste Reporting of measures Determination of radioactive substances in radioactive waste Register for radioactive waste Decommissioning plan Continuous documentation of events during operation
