Abstract

This study focuses on demonstrating the feasibility of constructing a large reinforced concrete silo for the disposal of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste. In a large-scale model test, the results of temperature (from heat of hydration) and thermal stress analyses were confirmed, as was the practicality of countermeasures to prevent thermal cracking. After one year, the average permeability of the model silo was estimated to be below 1×10−11m/s.
