[en] A thermochemical approach was suggested for treating and conditioning specific streams of radioactive wastes as well as for decontamination of highly contaminated surfaces. The thermochemical treatment of radioactive wastes uses powder metal fuels or reactant mixtures that are specifically formulated for the waste composition and react exothermically with the waste components. As a result of this treatment, the release of hazardous components and radionuclides in the off-gas minimizes and contaminants are confined in the mineral or glass-like end product. An advantage of thermochemical treatment is its autonomy that allows successfully treating some wastes without usage of complex and expensive equipment. (author)
