Background
• Each reactor had 8 boilers (heat exchangers) housed externally to the reactor buildings
• Boilers de-lagged and disconnected during decommissioning preps
• Currently stored horizontally around each reactor (15 in total)
• One boiler sized reduced on site in the 1990’s
![Page 3: Magnox Decommissioning Opitmisation Programme (MODP) Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814a3e550346895db75b31/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Background
• Each boiler is 21 meters long and 5 meters in diameter
• Each weighs approx. 310 tonnes
• 15 boilers originally planned to be left in situ until final site clearance 2074
• Very low levels of internal contamination present
• Initiated graduate project to investigate options

Why now?
• Business case aligns with overall national Low Level Waste (LLW) strategy (published Summer 2010)
• For LLW metals - BPEO is to treat/recycle
• Early solutions found now, rather than at final site clearance
• Provides base load for supply chain
• Noticeable change to the site skyline
• Remains LLW if stored to final site clearance on site, so why not do it now!

Secondary Waste
Weight: ~ 310 tonnesVolume: ~ 600 m³
![Page 21: Magnox Decommissioning Opitmisation Programme (MODP) Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814a3e550346895db75b31/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Processing
• Size reduction• Recovery of loose material• Decontamination of internal surfaces• Smelting• Casting of ingots for free release
– Melting of metal ensures robust characterisation analysis
– Representative sample “pucks”
– Metal is restricted release

Secondary Waste Management
• Volume reduced waste consists of a concentrate including the radioactive nuclides to be returned
• All secondary waste packages are analysed for radiological content
• A comprehensive final report is generated during processing with radiological analysis data
• Use of standard packages for return of secondary waste
