Description

An activity removal method from spent ion exchange resin was developed in the Fugen Nuclear Power Station. Nitric acid of 2N is used as the eluent of spent resin. Cobalt 60 in the spent resin was reduced from 700 kBq/cm3 to less than 7 kBq/cm3 after ten batches of one hour stirring at 90degC. Nitric acid of 18 cm3 was stirred with the same volume of spent resin in each batch. After this treatment the spent resin is available to be burned in the incinerator of the Fugen. Stabilizing way of the effluent nitric acid is under development. (author)
