CERTAIN METHODS OF DECONTAMINATION OF HIGHLY ACTIVE EFFLUENTS

Journal Article · · changed to TEBEA
OSTI ID:4209172
Characteristic composition of the highly active effluents from nuclear reactors are examined. Allowable concentration of the radioactive isotopes in water, biological cycles of P/sup 32/, and of other isotopes are listed. Descriptions of various disposal methods as applied to effluents including dumping of solutions into the ocean, marine disposal of closed containers containing these effluents, and disposal into deep drilled wells are given. The accumulation of highly active liquids in the underground storages, concentration of active solutions for the purpose of obtaining salt mixtures, utilization of the ion exchange, the melting with aluminum silicates, and conversion into ceramic materials are also discussed.
