Water Tank Engineering Issues

Design-integration of the following

Requirements
Design Criteria
Codes and Standards including EH&S
Shielding material
Structural material
Adaptability for possible remodeled shield configuration or for R&R of equipment
Fabrication-Vendor surface shops and/or 4850 level fabrication
Material transport-Dependant on final Yates lift configuration
Assembly integration
Maintenance
Liquid Processing

Shielding Material

Liquid

Type
Containment
1. Module size
2. Shine prevention
Liquid circulation and processing
1. Air removal
2. Breech containment

Plastic

Type and implementation method- Availability
1. Solid panels
  - Cast
  - Built up from thinner Plate or castings
2. Sprayed in place
  - May be less dense than cast material
  - Could be a Toxicity problem in the Module/drift –EH&S issue

Structure

Minimum steel mass
Walls
1. Vertical and Lateral stability
Roof
1. Modular
2. Flexibility for introduction and heavy maintenance of equipment inside the shield
Floor
1. Support of screeners and Immersion tank
