A New Plant for Management of Radioactive Waste

By 1991 a new plant for management of radioactive waste will be erected in the CINR. Thus increased atomic safety and radiation protection will be attained, the economy of waste management and the quality of the conditioned waste will simultaneously be improved. Facilities for volume reduction (evaporation, press compaction, solidification) and conditioning (solidification, packing) will be available for the treatment of radioactive waste. A novel handling technique will ensure safe handling of radioactive waste conditioned for repository. The facilities mentioned above will be installed in a building of about 25000 m3.
