Abstract: This paper briefly introduces the high integrity container (HIC) of cross linked polyethylene imported from the United States by Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant, and its application in the Clive and Barnwell disposal sites in the United States. The main problems and solutions in the application of HIC in China, such as free water content, accumulated dose, radiation decomposition gas and overpackage are discussed. It is hoped that they can provide some reference for the selection of disposal plan for cross linked polyethylene HIC in China.
