Study and design of liquid waste treatment system for KMRR

Conceptual design program of radwaste treatment system for KMRR was carried out. It is desired that these wastes are treated in RWTF(Radioactive Waste Treatment Facility) which was constructed and has been operated in KAERI, because KMRR is not furnished with radwaste treatment system for processing wastes to be generated. Thus, the following factors were taken into consideration: (I) examination of KMRR radwastes treatment methodology by RWTF, and (II) technical evaluation to choose suitable treatment processes in RWFT. Included were classifications according to the characteristics of wastes as well as the estimation of waste quantities expected yearly in order to treat them in safe manner. Design of KMRR radwaste treatment system was devided into four categories; Collection of radwaste in KMRR site, Transportation of radwaste from KMRR to RWTF site, and treatment of radwaste in RWFT. Technologies related to each category are examined, and technical data to be required in the design and detailed treatment methologies are proposed. This report is provided with the basis for the management of KMRR radwaste as well as the design of this treatment system by presenting a preliminary operating procedure for this system. (Author)
