Used Nuclear Fuel – Drying the DSC

Monday, January 4th, 2010

This is an alternate animation showing the draining of the Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) in a Cask Preparation Area that is outside of the Cooling Pond facility. First, the water is pumped out of the DSC through small port in the inner lid of the canister. That port connects to a drain tube installed in the canister which extends to the very bottom of the canister. The water is pumped back to the Spent Fuel Pool where it originated. After the water is removed, a vacuum pump and filtration system remove all the remaining moisture from the Canister. It is then back filled with helium, an inert gas that prevents corrosion and promotes heat transfer. Finally, an outer lid is installed and welded to the canister and a shielding cover is bolted onto the transfer cask.

We have eliminated that concern. The Pump Package provides a turn key product which allows the consumer to easily prepare the system for use by using the quick-coupling connect system. Most commercial grade lake pumps require wiring prior to use. Our pumps come wired (110V or 220V) and ready to use. The only thing required is electricity near the desired location of the turf pump. It is a no hassle system that will give you years of reliable service.

Pond Sand Filter – Pros & Cons

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

The Pond Sand Filter is a device that takes pond water and makes it safe to drink by filtering out bacteria that is harmful to human beings. It’s a proven technology but it has its limitations.

Pros
- No fossil fuels, solar power, or electricity required
- Nearly effortless to pump
- Purifies enough water everyday to provide hundreds of families clean & safe drinking water
- The water purified is safe enough to be used for cooking (low or no iron in the water)

Cons
- Limited lifespan (minimum two years), needs to be replaced eventually like any filter
- Increased complexity vs. the deep tube well (Murphy’s Law – more can go wrong)
- More vulnerable to vandalism than a deep-tube well (can unscrew and steal the faucets, etc)

The person in the video is a local villager. She’s not an expert in pond sand filters – but I wanted to see what the local perception of Pond Sand Filters are.
