Main Methods of Solving the Problem of Radioactive Waste Management from Nuclear Power Stations and Spent Fuel Reprocessing Plants in the USSR

摘要

The main directions of solving the problem of radioactive waste management from nuclear power stations and radiochemical plants, the aspects of gaseous waste management, liquid HLW storage in vessels and the problems of heat removal during storage of vitrified HLW in surface storages are considered. The main problems arising during fine decontamination of gaseous discharges from nuclear power stations and reprocessing plants are discussed. The migration of fission products in the environment and technical aspects of their capture from gaseous discharges are also considered. (Atomindex citation 11:538729)
