AMEC 1.2 “A MODULAR MOBILE TREATMENT FACILITY FOR LIQUID RADIOACTIVE WASTE – PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND COMPARISON OF LIQUID LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE TECHNOLOGIES “IN USE ” OR PLANNED FOR NORTHWEST RUSSIA”
A number of sites have been identified in remote coastal locations in the Russian Northwest Arctic where complex liquid radioactive wastes (LRW) have been stored. These radioactive wastes are mostly stored in tanks under environmentally unsafe conditions within close proximity to the Arctic coast. T...
