초록 ▼

A method, apparatus and system for the transferring a container for receiving high level radioactive waste into and/or out of a pool. The instant invention utilizes a specially designed container in order to make effective use of a stand placed within the pool. In one embodiment, the invention is a system for transferring high level radioactive waste comprising: a container for receiving high level radioactive waste, the container having a support structure; a stand comprising a cavity for receiving the container and an opening forming a passageway into the cavity; wherein the support structure is sized, shaped and/or arranged so that: (i) when the container is substantially vertically oriented in a first rotational position, the support structure can not pass through the opening due to contact between the support structure and the stand; and (ii) when the substantially vertically oriented container is rotated an angle about a vertical axis to a second rotational position, the support structure can pass through the opening in an unobstructed manner.

1. A system for transferring high level radioactive waste comprising: a container for receiving high level radioactive waste, the container having a support structure;a stand comprising a cavity for receiving the container and an opening forming a passageway into the cavity;wherein the support structure is sized, shaped and/or arranged so that: (i) when the container is substantially vertically oriented in a first rotational position, the support structure can not pass through the opening due to contact between the support structure and the stand; and (ii) when the substantially vertically oriented container is rotated an angle about a vertical axis to a second rotational position, the support structure can pass through the opening in an unobstructed manner. 2. The system of claim 1 further comprising: the stand having a top surface that surrounds at least a portion of the opening;the support structure having a bottom surface; andwherein when the container is in the first rotational position, the support structure can not pass through the opening due to surface contact between the bottom surface of the support structure and the top surface of the stand. 3. The system of claim 1 further comprising: the stand having a top surface that surrounds at least a portion of the opening;the support structure having a bottom surface; andthe bottom surface of the support structure and the top surface of the stand configured so that when the container is in the first rotational position and lowered into contact with the stand, the container is supported by the stand in a substantially vertical orientation. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein the top surface of the stand comprises means for prohibiting rotation of the container about the vertical axis when the container is supported by the stand. 5. The system of claim 4 wherein the prohibition means comprises one or more protuberances protruding from the top surface of the stand. 6. The system of claim 4 wherein the prohibition means comprises a pair of protuberances spaced from one another and extending from the top surface of the stand, the protuberances having a sloped upper surface for guiding a portion of the support structure into contact with the stand between the pair of protuberances. 7. The system of claim 6 comprising a plurality of the pair of protuberances. 8. The system of claim 1 wherein the support structure is a flange. 9. The system of claim 8 further comprising: the flange having an external perimeter that forms a horizontal cross-sectional profile; the opening having a horizontal cross-sectional profile; andwherein the horizontal cross-sectional profiles of the flange and the opening are sized and shaped relative to one another so that: (i) when the container is substantially vertically oriented in a first rotational position, the flange can not pass through the opening due to contact between the flange and the stand; and (ii) when the substantially vertically oriented container is rotated an angle about a vertical axis to a second rotational position, the flange can pass through the opening in an unobstructed manner. 10. The system of claim 9 wherein the horizontal cross-sectional profile of the flange is rectangular with rounded corners and the horizontal cross-sectional profile of the opening is rectangular. 11. The system of claim 1 wherein the stand has a height and the container has a height, the height of the stand being less than the height of the container. 12. The system of claim 1 wherein the stand is a rigid box-like structure formed by four walls. 13. The system of claim 12 wherein the stand is formed by a plurality of interconnected walls, the walls being frame-like structures. 14. The system of claim 1 wherein the cavity has an open top end formed by the opening and an open bottom end. 15. An apparatus for facilitating the transfer of a container for receiving high level radioactive waste into and/or out of a pool, the container comprising a support structure, the apparatus comprising: a stand comprising a cavity for receiving the container and an opening forming a passageway into the cavity;wherein the opening is sized and shaped so that: (i) when the container is substantially vertically oriented in a first rotational position, the support structure can not pass through the opening due to contact between the support structure and the stand; and (ii) when the substantially vertically oriented container is rotated an angle about a vertical axis to a second rotational position, the support structure can pass through the opening in an unobstructed manner.
