Advanced volume reduction system for PWR plant

  • 1. Hitachi Ltd. (Japan)
  • 2. Kansai Electric Power Co. (Japan)

Description

This advanced volume reduction system provides high volume reduction and long term stability for final waste package, through the following techniques: drying and pelletizing concentrated liquid waste, and incinerating combustible waste for volume reduction; and solidifying with an inorganic agent (cement-glass) into an inorganic high integrity for long term stability. The system was installed in the Ohi 3 and 4 PWR units of Kansai Electric Power Co. Good performance has been obtained. (author)
