Advanced Liquid Radwaste Treatment processes can be defined as those technologies which provide substantial solid radwaste reduction and improved water quality when compared to conventional processes such as demineralization and evaporation. Mine We Point - Unit 1(NMP1) has successfully processed over 2.35 million gallons of outage and non-outage generated floor drain water through an advanced treatment system, since January of this year. Operating results show that advanced systems are capable of processing widely varying waste water streams while lowering product water impurities and solid radwaste generation rates. This paper relates full scale operating experiences encountered since startup, as well as feed and effluent chemistry results. Information provided in this paper will specifically benefit two groups of nuclear facilities: (1) those operating under a zero-liquid discharge scenario, where restrictive product water quality standards are imposed and (2) those facilities that require less than minimum detectible activity (
