FeaturesRadioactive waste managementat nuclear power plantsAn overview of the types of low- and intermediate-levelwastes and how they are handledby V. M. EfremenkovIn many countries nuclear power plants are an impor-tant part of the national energy system. nuclear poweris economically competitive and environmentally cleancompared to most other forms of energy used in electric-ity production. Used in conjunction with them, it con-tributes to the security of national electricity supplies. Itseems certain that in the medium term and beyond, agrowing contribution to national energy supplies fromnuclear energy will continue to be necessary if the stan-dard of living in industrialized countries of the world isto be maintained and the energy needs of the developingcountries are to be a result of the operation of nuclear reactors, someradioactive wastes are produced.
the treatment of liquid effluents at nuclear power plants. Examples of these include the cleanup of primary and secondary coolant circuits in water reactors, treatment of fuel storage pond water, and polishing of condensates after evaporation. Liquid radioactive wastes usually have to satisfy the following criteria to be suitable for ion ...
