Vacuum drying and supercompaction applied to repacking of waste immobilized in urea formaldehyde
Description
The vacuum drying and later supercompacting technique is being successfully applied to the repacking of drums of radioactive waste immobilized in urea formaldehyde polymer, at the Almaraz Nuclear Power Station in Spain. The volume reduction factor being achieved with the repacking process is between 1/3 and 1/4. This paper describes the preliminary studies, equipment used and results of the operations, carried out using mobile plants
