Method of compacting low-level radioactive waste utilizing freezing and electrodialyzing concentration processes

摘要

A volume reduction process comprises combinations of a freezing eutectic, bulk, indirect crystallization process and a radwaste electrodialysis process. When employed as a liquid radioactive waste management system (LWMS) for light water reactors (LWR's), this process is designed to process liquid low-level radioactive waste (LLW) and to handle the radioactive influent in nuclear power plants (NPPs) prior to release to the environment and disposal of the radioactive material present in the waste streams.
