A WASTE DISPOSAL EXPERIMENT USING MINERAL EXCHANGE ON CLINOPTILOLITE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4831422
An 8200-liter volume of waste solution containing 400 curies of Cs-137 and 370 curies of Sr-90 was treated by ion exchange wlth clinoptilolite, a natural zeolite. The Cs and Sr were removed from solution by this treatment and the loaded mineral was buried in a concrete container in the Chalk River B disposal area. Both the preliminary laboratory work and the full-scale operation are described. (auth)
