Doc. No.: NLM-URT-21/007

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The jaw crusher is required to reduce waste size of the cooled solid waste slag(s) of the low level nuclear waste, to smaller size particles, and then drum it so that it can comply with the acceptance criteria of the waste storage facility.

The user requirements specification (URS) will form part of the tender bid  documents during procurement stage. The crusher is required to have an enclosure, which will keep all the dust and contamination during the crushing process within the enclosure. The dust control extraction system will be venting dust at a maximum velocity of 4 m/s. The crusher enclosure and dust control extraction system does not form part of this URS, however it will have a separate URS.

2.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this user requirement specification is to provide details of the requirements for the design, manufacture and supply of a fully functional Jaw Crusher, along with all its accessories (see section 9.0). This equipment is required for crushing radioactive nuclear waste solid slag to 60mm particle size.

SCOPE

The scope of supply is to:

1. Supply a jaw crusher design and auxiliaries (specified in Section 9),
2. Design the jaw crusher
3. Review the crusher design & have it acceptances by Necsa
4. Develop a quality control plan for jaw crusher
5. Procure materials for a jaw crusher
6. Fabricate, manufacturing and assembly the jaw crusher
7. Perform Non-destructive examination on applicable components of the jaw crusher
8. Perform factory acceptance test (FAT)
9. Deliver the jaw crusher to the Necsa site
10. Install the crusher and perform a site acceptance
11. Pre-commission, and commissioning the jaw
12. Sign-off all installation and commissioning
13. Train the operators on how to operate the jaw
14. A operating manual

Maintenance plan, commissioning and operating procedure , critical spares list and drawings i.e.   assembly drawings; electrical drawing; instrumentation drawings; control systems drawings (hard copies & soft copies) form part of this scope of work for the project, and shall be supplied with the jaw crusher.

The above mentioned  requirements in this document should satisfy and meet all the client’s (Necsa) requirements including the jaw crusher ISO quality standard(s).
