AP600 low level radioactive waste processing and handling
Description
The Westinghouse AP600 is a nominal 600 MWE, advanced nuclear plant design with passive safety systems. It is designed for general worldwide installations and suitable for a broad range of environmental conditions. The radioactive waste processing and handling systems presume the existence of modern support infrastructure near the plant. AP600 low level radioactive waste processing and handling systems are categorized into liquid, gaseous and solid radwaste systems. The AP600 does not include boron recycle and relies upon dilution of the boric acid to satisfy local discharge restrictions. There are also no provisions for an in-plant laundry. These simplifications have resulted in reduced initial equipment and operating costs. They have also simplified the operational procedures for the radwaste systems
