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
  - Module size
  - Shine prevention
* Liquid circulation and processing
  - Air removal 
  - Breech containment

Plastic

	
* Type and implementation method
  - Availability
  - Solid panels 
* Cast 
      * Built up from thinner Plate or castings
  - 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
