Atomenergomash, the equipment manufacturing and engineering division of state nuclear corporation Rosatom, said in a statement yesterday that one its subsidiaries had completed the development and manufacture of the equipment and containers of a mobile unit designed to process Low Level Waste for its customer RosRAO.
One of the key features of the unit is that once placed in mobile containers, it can be quickly deployed and start processing without the need for extensive preparatory work, Dmitry Kukiev, head of research at SverdNIIkhimmash, said. LLW processing will be done on the spot, without the need for transport, he added. The unit is expected to help reduce the volume of LLW by 2-3 times and process about 250 cubic meters of radioactive waste a year. It will be launched by the Urals branch of RosRAO once all the required permits have been obtained, Atomenergomash said.
