two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The RRHF will be a specialist hot cell facility that will allow handling of radioactive waste, primarily in preparation for disposal, but also facilitating sampling, size reduction, Post Irradiation Examination (PIE), maintenance and other tasks involving radioactive materials.
It is anticipated that the facility will consist of two shielded cells; a de-lidding cell for loading and unloading shielded flasks, and an active cell for ‘invasive works’. Each cell will be served with through-wall-manipulators and overhead cranes. The shielding thickness requirement will be approximately 350mm of steel, or equivalent, with a total steel mass of approximately 600 tonnes. The facility will be constructed within an existing radiation supervised area and procured under a single turnkey contract.
