Transport by Barge and Road: Shipping Crystal River’s Segmented RPV to Disposal
The Optimized Segmentation process patented by Orano Decommissioning Services was successfully implemented for the first time at the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) decommissioning project in Florida [1]. Using this approach, Orano was able to avoid the time- and resource-intensive process of packaging components into numerous standardized waste containers and significantly reduced the required segmentation activities.

The wave number of the fast Alfvén waves excited in mirror confined plasmas was measured with conventional magnetic probes. Obtained results suggest that the power deposition from the excited waves to the plasma is affected by the eigenmode formation.
