초록 ▼

Disclosed are the apparatus and methods for closing a canister that stores and transports spent nuclear fuel. In one embodiment, the canister includes a canister shell that includes an open end. A closure lid is inserted within the open end of the canister shell. The closure lid engages the open end of the canister shell to provide a weld area that is substantially on the outer circumference of the closure lid. The weld area includes a first weld layer and a second weld layer. The first weld layer welds the closure lid to the canister shell at the weld area and closes the canister. The second weld layer also welds the closure lid to the canister shell at the weld area, providing a redundant closure seal, and is disposed substantially on top of the first weld layer. The method for closing the canister is provided herein.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A canister that is capable of storing and transporting spent nuclear fuel, the canister comprising: a canister shell that includes an open end;a closure lid that is inserted within the open end of the canister shell, the closure lid having a sidewall, an upper portion having a first outer lateral circumference and a lower portion having a second outer lateral circumference, the first outer lateral circumference less than the second outer later circumference;a first weld layer disposed in a weld area, the first weld layer having welds between the closure lid and the canister shell at the top of the lower portion of the closure lid, the first weld layer being configured to close the closure lid onto the canister as a first seal to the canister;a second weld layer disposed above the first weld layer, the second weld layer having welds between the closure lid and the canister shell and disposed on the first weld layer, the second weld layer being configured to close the closure lid onto the canister as a second seal to the canister; anda seal ring that is disposed above the second weld layer and between the canister shell and the upper outer circumference of the sidewall of the canister lid, a lower portion of the seal ring being placed substantially adjacent to the second weld layer, a top surface of the seal ring being substantially aligned and welded to the top surface of the closure lid and a top end of the canister shell, the seal ring being configured to close the closure lid onto the canister as a second seal to the canister. 2. The canister as defined in claim 1, wherein the at first weld layer and the second weld layer have a composite weld layer depth to assure closure of the canister. 3. The canister as defined in claim 1, further comprising a basket assembly that is disposed in the canister shell. 4. The canister as defined in claim 2, wherein the first weld layer and second weld layer are cooled below a material-specific adhesion temperature after the each of the weld layers are applied to assure each of the weld layers has achieved adhesion between the canister shell and closure lid. 5. The canister as defined in claim 4, wherein the first weld layer and second weld layer are inspected after a prescribed number of weld passes is cooled using approved methods and techniques to determine the quality of the weld layers and their acceptability, the approved methods and techniques including a dye-penetrant examination. 6. The canister as defined in claim 1, further comprising weld surfaces that weld the seal ring to the closure lid and to the canister shell. 7. The canister as defined in claim 6, wherein weld surfaces are applied as single pass welds or multi-pass welds. 8. The canister as defined in claim 6, wherein the weld surfaces are cooled below a material-specific adhesion temperature after the weld surfaces are applied to assure the weld surfaces have achieved adhesion among the seal ring, canister shell and closure lid. 9. The canister as defined in claim 8, wherein the weld surfaces are inspected after the weld surfaces are cooled using approved methods and techniques to determine the quality of the weld surfaces and their acceptability, the approved methods and techniques including a dye-penetrant examination.
