The reinforced concrete structure of the building is made of columns partially founded on piles. The intake area includes inbuilt structures made of both reinforced concrete and standard materials that are further used for operation, storage, control and sanitary purposes. The visitor area is also being built. The actual storage area is separated from the intake area through a shield wall with an opening for shifting of containers. The nuclear waste storage area has reinforced concrete panel sheathing, the ventilation of the hall is ensured through natural aeration using floor and roof ventilation shutters. |
