Description

A waste management evaluation has been performed for decontamination of an entire PWR primary circuit. A 5-step AP-CanDerem decontamination will generate 86 m3 (3050 ft3) of ion exchange resin waste. Cement solidification and resin dewatering have been used for decontamination waste disposal. The total waste processing and burial cost for solidification is at least twice as expensive as for dewatering. A combination of resin incineration, resin oxidation, and dewatering yield the most practical volume reduction
