Early Dry-Cask Storage: A Safer Alternative to Dense-Packed Pools and Reprocessing

2019
Canceled and delayed plans for reprocessing, and delays in identifying central-storage and burial sites for spent fuel have resulted in nuclear utilities in a number of countries dense-racking their spent-fuel pools as the least costly way to increase onsite spent-fuel storage capacity. As discussed in Chap.

Novel Algorithms for Reprocessing, Drying and Storing Endoscopes

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2020
After outbreaks of duodenoscope-transmitted infection with multidrug-resistant organisms, it has become clear that institutions must optimize their endoscope reprocessing programs. Standard endoscope reprocessing practices may not represent the ideal approach for preventing transmission of infection related to endoscopy.

Endoscope reprocessing: Comparison of drying effectiveness and microbial levels with an automated drying and storage cabinet with forced filtered air and a standard storage cabinet

American Journal of Infection Control, 2019
Automated drying may help prevent endoscopically transmitted infections. We aimed to assess the efficacy of an automated drying and storage cabinet compared to a standard storage cabinet in achieving endoscope dryness postreprocessing and in reducing the risk of microbial growth.Drying times of bronchoscopes, colonoscopes, and duodenoscopes using 2 ...

Inconsistencies in Endoscope-Reprocessing and Infection-Control Guidelines: The Importance of Endoscope Drying

The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2006
Endoscope reprocessing is a multi-stepped process that renders a contaminated endoscope safe for reuse. Its steps include meticulous cleaning, complete immersion in a liquid chemical sterilant (LCS) or disinfectant to achieve high-level disinfection (or "liquid sterilization"), water rinsing, and proper handling and storage.

Boiling and drying accident of high-level liquid waste in a reprocessing plant: Examination of the NO 2 and NO generation using the simulated waste

Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 2020
NO2 and NO generated during a boiling and drying accident, which affects the release of volatilized radioactive Ru into the atmosphere, were examined using various samples including simulated high-...

Dry deposition velocity of iodine-129 onto grass as obtained by field measurements in the environment of a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry Letters, 1989
The deposition velocity of gaseous organic129I species from the exhaust air stack of the Karlsruhe reprocessing plant onto pasture grass was measured by a field experiment. By simultaneously measuring the amount of129I deposited per unit area of pasture grass and the time integrated mean air concentration of129I a deposition velocity of Vg=5.8×10−1 /cm
