Vertical Nuclear Waste
Cask Transporter
Intelliport Corp.'s newly introduced self-loading OmniLoader
can safely and efficiently move nuclear spent fuel using
proven fluid suspension technology. Licensed to Wheelift
Systems, the vertical cask transporter is a self-loading
pneumatic-tired carrier that engages the cask at the
bottom, to then lift and carry, allowing for more efficient
movement within and between independent spent fuel
storage installations (ISFSI) without needing to comply
with single-failure proofing. Operating on independent
fluid suspension axles with air-filled jumbo jet tires, the
OmniLoader also features Wheelift's signature SynchroSteer
for all-direction travel over challenging and diverse
surfaces. The self-loading transporter is operated remotely,
thereby significantly reducing dosage exposure risks to
operators and crew. Absence of an overhead lifting beam
allows the transporter to engage and lift the loaded cask
only enough to clear the floor before driving out of the fuel
building and directly to the ISFSI pad. (www.wheelift.com)
Spent Fuel Multi-Monitor System
Dust-Repelling Coating for
Solar Thermal Mirrors
Germany-based solar mirror maker Flabeg has
developed an anti-soiling coating for solar
mirrors used in solar thermal power plant
applications, duraGLARE, which can repel dust
and sand from the surface of mirrors. Dirt on
mirrors can be reduced up to 50% compared
with panels that are not coated, the company
claims. As well as an increase in reflection,
the enhanced performance of the collectors
means that the effective solar area can also
be made smaller, and this would cut the need
for additional collectors and their
components. The coating has been tested for
several months in various climate zones
worldwide. (www.flabeg.com)

The new 1E-qualified CL86 Plus Spent Fuel Pool MultiMonitor
System from Fluid Components International (FCI) integrates three
critical measurements: continuous level, point level, and temperature into
a multi-variable solution designed specifically for spent fuel pool (SFP)
applications in nuclear power plants. Maintaining water levels within
spent fuel pools is of vital importance to ensure that spent fuel is kept
cool and insulated, preventing the release of radiation. The new CL86 Plus
Monitoring System features integrated continuous water level, multiple
point level wet/dry indication and alarms, and water temperature sensors.
These precision sensors operate independently of one another, offering the
reliability and dependable accuracy required in demanding nuclear power
plant installations.
The CL86 Plus provides discrete and independent outputs of each
measurement for interface with the plant control room and alarm
systems. The CL86 Plus is ideal for both new and retrofit SFP installations.
It consists of a unified probe assembly that is immersed in the SFP
and manufactured to the exact length specified for the depth of the
application. The sensor design is an extension of FCI's proven thermal
dispersion technology for the nuclear industry. Sensor wires and electronics
interface junction box are housed in a rugged metal enclosure that is
water-tight and resistant to falling debris. (www.fluidcomponents.com)
