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
