Retorting of nuclear chimneys
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6974362
Oil-yielding rubble in a nuclear chimney is preconditioned for retorting by forming a generally vertical column of coke-like rubble therein. The mass of rubble in the chimney is then retorted by introducing a hot heating medium. Hydrocarbons educed from the rubble can be recovered in any suitable manner. (9 claims)
