[Experince accumulated by RADON Industrial Research Association in treating radioactive waste]
Specialists developed methods to reduce radioactive waste volume for storage. Technologies like filtration, electrolysis, and burning process over 50,000 cubic meters of waste, applicable to nuclear energy plants.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Chemistry and Engineering
- Environmental Science and Management
Background:
- Long-term storage of radioactive waste presents significant environmental and logistical challenges.
- Minimizing the volume of radioactive waste is crucial for efficient and safe disposal.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present and evaluate various methods for reducing the volume of radioactive waste.
- To highlight the applicability of these technologies in nuclear energy and radiochemical sectors.
Main Methods:
- Filtration and selective sorption of radionuclides
- Electrolysis and monoselective purification
- Thermal treatments including burning and plasmic burning, and mechanical pressing
Main Results:
- The "RADON" Industrial Research Association employs diverse techniques based on waste composition.
- A substantial volume of radioactive waste, exceeding 50,000 cubic meters, has been processed.
- These methods effectively reduce waste volume for safer long-term storage.
Conclusions:
- The developed technologies offer viable solutions for radioactive waste volume reduction.
- These methods are adaptable for use in radiochemical works and broader nuclear energy applications.
