Commercial Nuclear Power Plant liquid radwaste systems historically have required theprocessing of approximately 24,000 cu. ft. of spent resin each year. With the advent ofthermal and other types of off-site treatme nt, dewatering to burial site criteria is becomingunnecessary. Bulk dewatering and shipment to the off- site processor is all that is required.This creates the need for re-usable containers, which are filled and dewatered at the utility,shipped for resin extraction at the processor, and refurbished for reuse.For the utility, the bulk dewatering of containers is a major task. For the off-site processor,extraction of the dewatered resin is a major task. The GTS Duratek team has designed a reusablecontainer that caters to the needs of both the utility and the processor. This design hassignificantly reduced dewatering times at Carolina Power and Light (an iron oxide loadedpowdered resin) and provides a large container opening, without intrusive internals, for easyextraction of resin at the off-site processor. All of this has been accomplished at virtually thesame lifecycle cost of a typical, single use container.This technical paper will discuss the design basis for this new approach to dewatering spention exchange resin and reusing containers.
