Management of Radioactive Waste
Solid Waste Management
For the efficient handling of solid radioactive waste generated during nuclear facility operation and decommissioning, our solutions optimize volume reduction and encapsulate radioactivity for safe storage. We offer various solutions such as:
- Compaction: Includes filter press and high-force compactor for waste volume reduction.
- Thermal Processes: Technologies like pyrolysis and incineration with integrated waste gas purification.
- Decontamination: using techniques such as high-pressure water blasting, dry abrasive blasting, and electrochemical methods.
Liquid Waste Management
Our liquid waste solutions reduce waste volume and encapsulate radioactivity, making it safe for final storage. Our available technologies include:
- Solidification: NUKEM’s conical mixer, in-drum cementation and grouting.
- Concentration: Utilizing vapor recompression with heat pump technology, natural circulation and double-tube evaporators.
- Drying: Utilizing In-drum dryer for concentrate drying and conical dryer for spent resin drying.
- Filtration: Implementing reverse osmosis and biological treatment specially for organically polluted waste.
Measurement Systems
Our measurement systems assess burn-up and residual radioactivity in at various stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance:
- Bulk Material: Gamma monitoring systems and free release measurement facilities (FREMES) for loose waste.
- Waste Packages: Systems like our Drum Measurement System (DMS) and Container Measurement System (CMS).
- Fissile Material: Includes Fuel Assembly Monitoring (FAMOS) and Active Neutron Measurement (CAMOS).
Storage Solutions
We offer comprehensive solutions for the safe storage of radioactive waste, from initial studies to facility construction. Our services include:
- Feasibility studies, design, and construction of intermediate storage and repository facilities.
