Predisposal Waste Management

D.Hofman Facilia AB 12 April 2010

Overview of SAFRAN Tool 2

SAFRAN Potential Use

• Conduct Waste Characterisation;

• Visualise waste management schemes;

• Guidance in conducting safety assessments;

• Support in quantitative assessments;

Overview of SAFRAN Tool 3

Benefits of SAFRAN

• To assist in performing systematic and structured safety assessments in compliance with Safety Standards

• To manage information and data in the same medium

• To demonstrate compliance with regulatory criteria

• To provide a common platform for regulators and operators to perform and review safety assessments and discuss results effectively

SAFCALC1 (will be extended and build-in)

SAFCALC2

SAFCALC allows user to

make deterministic or

probabilistic calculations

for predefined set of

models.

New models can be easy

incorporated

• Extending functionality of all blocks

• Site description – configurations, possibility to define

user-defined nuclide inventories

• Waste streams –merging, blocks.

• Safety assessment – new flexible structure. Sections

Analysis, Safety requirements, Discussions,

Conclusions .

• User interface

• Windows MyComputer-like

• Objects-links-actions

• Flexible user-defined window layout

• Using most up-to-dated controls for trees, lists

and tables

• Adobe Flash diagrams for waste streams

SAFRAN user interface – objects, links, actions

• Calculations – SAFCALC1 (NIREX)

– SAFCALC2 (Ecolego player)

– User-defined tables.

– Possibility to import tables from Excel.

– Input: Accounting values for pre-defined parameters

from Site/Facility/Area elements (depending on

configuration) and nuclide inventories (waste streams).

– Web-based release fractons database (in development)

• SAFRAN Word report

– Newest development - Word add-ins

• Quicker

• More stable

• Tables can be included at any place in any document

• SAFRAN is not connected internally to MS Office

• Power Point Waste stream diagrams

• Export tables to Excel

• Maintenance

• Installation (uninstall)

• Checking for updates
