NUCLEANTECH UF6 - Solution for the Wastewater Treatment of the Uranium Enrichment Process
The objective of this process is to treat waste water produced by washing equipment used in the synthesis, manipulation and transport of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) at nuclear fuel preparation facilities.
This water contains radioactive particles of low and medium activity and should be treated accordingly.
The process is characterized by obtaining high quality water that can be reused in washes and extreme minimization of completely dry solid waste, which must be managed as low and intermediate level waste (LILW).
This means that cost saving compared to more conventional processes is quite significant.
The NUCLEANTECH® UF6 process enables the treatment of waste water generated during the washing of equipment and facilities that manipulate raw material and radioactive products. Although most of cases are nuclear fuel preparation plants, given the versatility of the process, it can also be used and applied to nuclear plants, research laboratories, etc
