Abstract
The hot cell for the reprocessing of spent fuel samples is suggested to be erected in the process hall of the radiochemical laboratory at Inchas. The design permits for safe handling of spent fuel samples with radioactivity level up to 10,000 MeV-Ci. The hot cell consists of an air-tight stainless steel box, 2 × 1.5 × 1.75 m 3, surrounded by suitable biological shielding, and equipped with masterslave manipulators, lead glass window, and a number of gloves. The box is connected with a solid-waste disposal mechanism, and a feeding shute fo rtransferring the spent fuel samples into the hot cell. The cell is provided with a sliding door through which the stainless steel box can be easily withdrawn for maintenance or replacement. The ventilation of the hot cell ensures non-radioactivity release in the surrounding zones.
