Abstract:A technology for thermovacuum drying of spent radioactively contaminated ion-exchange resins was developed. It was shown experimentally that thermovacuum drying yields a product suitable for long-term storage and subsequent disposal. Recommendations were made for using NZK and KMZ concrete and metal casks for holding dry, spent, low-and medium-activity ion-exchange resins without additional solidification. Because the volume of the product obtained is greatly reduced, thermovacuum drying will decrease by at le… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
