RADIOACTIVE WASTE (RAW) MANAGEMENT

The decommissioning integrator actively uses industry experience, technologies and solutions for processing and management of radioactive waste and offers services for creation of equipment for RAW processing

Radioactive waste management is one of the key lines of the integrator’s decommissioning activities.

Our company provides services in technical consulting, design of infrastructure for RAW management, design and supply, as well as equipment upgrading.

The decommissioning integrator offers an extensive list of solutions for conditioning radioactive waste from nuclear power plants, radiochemical and other facilities. At the conditioning stage, RAW is converted into a form suitable for storage, processing and transportation and subsequent final containment. Besides, we process secondary RAW, which is generated as a result of radioactive waste management

The integrator has a broad line of products for processing solid and liquid radioactive waste, including RAW pressing, incinerating, cementing, vitrification, and waste evaporating and solidifying equipment.

SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTE

LIQUID RADIOACTIVE WASTE

SORTING AND GRINDING UNIT

The solid radioactive waste sorting and grinding unit is designed to receive and control sorting of solid radioactive waste with a radioactivity level not exceeding 1.0 mSv/h. Sorting is performed by types of RAW - combustible waste, compressible waste, non-compressible waste.

PRE-PRESSING UNIT

The pre-pressing unit is designed for compacting (densification) of solid radioactive waste previously sorted and ground. SverdNIIKhimmash JSC, an enterprise in the decommissioning integrator’s business line, is engaged in the production of pressing units. Metal barrels of 200 dm3 capacity filled with solid radioactive waste are accepted for pressing.

SUPERCOMPACTOR

The main task of the high-pressure pressing system is to process solid radioactive waste in order to reduce its volume. The production of the supercompactor was deployed at the site of SverdNIIkhimmash JSC, an enterprise within the integrator’s decommissioning business line.

INCINERATION UNIT

The incineration unit is designed for thermal processing of solid and liquid combustible radioactive waste in order to reduce its volume and transform it into a form that allows for its long-term storage and final containment. The unit also solidifies the ash residue and transforms it into a safe form for storage - cement matrix.

PLASMA PROCESSING COMPLEX

The complex performs plasma-pyrolytic processing of solid radioactive waste of medium- and low-level of complex composition, i.e. containing both combustible and non-combustible components. RADON FSUE, an enterprise in the business line of the decommissioning integrator, is engaged in the production of pressing units.

RAW VITRIFICATION UNIT

The innovative radioactive waste vitrification unit is designed to convert liquid radioactive waste generated during processing of regenerated uranium into solid waste - in the form of borosilicate glass.

INCINERATION UNIT

The incineration unit is designed for thermal processing of solid and liquid combustible radioactive waste in order to reduce its volume and transform it into a form suitable for its long-term storage and final containment. The unit also solidifies the ash residue and transforms it into a safe form for storage - cement matrix.

CEMENTING SYSTEM

The production of liquid radioactive waste cementing systems is implemented at the site of SverdNIIkhimmash JSC, an enterprise within the decommissioning integrator’s business line. The system is designed for cementing low- and medium-level radioactive waste for temporary storage and final containment.

FLOOR DRAIN SYSTEM

The system is designed to collect and process liquid radioactive solutions (floor drains) generated during NPP operation. The decommissioning integrator manufactures this type of equipment in the premises of SverdNIIkhimmash JSC. The system operation is based on the method of LRAW evaporation to the volume of waste. This is necessary for intermediate storage before deep concentration and solidification of waste. To learn more, follow the arrow pointing down

DEEP EVAPORATION SYSTEM

The deep evaporation system withdraws LRAW from the intermediate storage and floor drain systems, evaporates the waste, and then discharges it to the cementing system. Thus, a continuous technological cycle of concentrating evaporator residues - multicomponent high-salt liquid radioactive waste of NPPs coming from storage tanks - and obtaining the evaporated liquor is implemented.

CONDITIONING UNIT

The unit is designed for conditioning spent contaminated ion exchange resins used to ensure technological modes of the first and second circuits of nuclear power plants. The unit dehydrates spent ion exchange resins and incorporates them into a polymer binding material - modified epoxy resin. This happens directly in the container designed for the end product final containment. The unit in the form of separate subunits is transported by special vehicles to the customer’s facilities, assembled at the site, connected to the utility networks, perform ion exchange resins conditioning and containers are removed to the place of temporary storage with their subsequent transfer to the National Operator for RAW Management.
