An original flowsheet is proposed for reprocessing of low-level wastes (LLW) containing surfactants. The flowsheet involves the use of ozone for destruction of surfactants and clinoptilolite for purification from ozonolysis products. Testing of the process in a pilot facility has shown the possibility for reduction of radioactive slurries by a factor of 10--15 with increasing performance of one filter-cycle by a factor of 2--3.
