The PPF project is providing a facility to safely release gas from potentially presurised packages of SNM, managing potential hydrogen and contamination hazards. There are to be facilities for both and and low pressure packages within a new glovebox and also the facility to decant and sort the material contents of the packages.  The glovebox will be inerted using a new nitrogen supply.  The project is currently in the detail design phase.

The SMP storage project is looking at taking a signiciant inventory of SNM packages from several locations and safely store them in the existing DESF store for an interim period prior to their reworking through another plant in the future. Management of hydrogen and other hazards is at the core of this project also, and much of the work is building the case for a change in use of the existing store.  This project is currently in the concept/prelim design phase.

• Management of chemical, DSEAR, chemotoxic and radiological hazards
• Development of nitrogen intering system
• Working with specialist supply chain
• Engagement with SNM Technical team
