Chemical Treatment of Spent Resin

Main description

Resins are an efficient and comfortable, but volume intensive approach to remove impurities. Spent resin waste accumulates during NPP operation and during decontamination measures. Certain radionuclides and components complicates or even do not allow the disposal of spent resin waste or require a higher rad waste classification. Framatome's chemical treatment of spent resin removes and recovery inorganic C-14, liquefy spent resins, decomposes organic matter, and reduces the volume of spent resin waste, storage volume, and disposal costs.
