Radionuclides Decision Tree.  Waste Disposal Options . The disposal options for each type of waste stream will depend not only on the type of waste but also on federal, state, and local regulations; landfill and treatment plant requirements; and location of the plant in relation to disposal options.

Get PriceMethods to Reduce the Concentration of Radionuclides in Drinking Water and Radionuclide Waste Disposal Criteria Mitigating a drinking water quality standard exceedance for a naturally occurring radionuclide is complicated since traditional water treatment processes and disposal methods cannot be routinely implemented.
Get PriceRadionuclides removed from source waters during water treatment become concentrated in residual liquids and sludges. Treatment technologies used to remove these contaminants from source waters may generate wastes that contain substantial radioactivity. Water systems that install one or more of these
Get PriceThe radionuclides that are concentrated may originate from radionuclides present in the original source of water or from water treatment. This treated water ends up most frequently in the aquatic environment, but it may also receive further application, for instance, as irrigation water in agriculture.
Get Pricewaste generated primarily depend on the treatment process used, the raw water quality and its source. The presence of radionuclides in WTP residual waste does not make it hazardous; hazardous waste generation will most likely be the result of the removal of certain co-occurring contaminants such as arsenic, in the residual waste (USEPA, 2005).

Of the singly occurring radionuclides present in the terrestrial environment, 40 K is the most commonly encountered in the assessment of radioactive residues associated with water processes.

Get PriceA typical water treatment plant based on precipitation produces sludges at a specific rate on the order of 150 g per m³ treated water. At a flow rate of 1000 m³/h (such as at the Schlema mine site), this gives 1300 tons per year. Some of the water treatment plants will be operated over a relatively long time span of at least 15 years.
Get PriceNaturally occurring radionuclides are widely distributed in the earth’s crust, so it’s no surprise that mineral and hydrocarbon extraction processes, conventional and unconventional alike, often produce some radioactive waste.1 Radioactive drilling waste is a form of TENORM (short for “technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material”)—that is, naturally occurring
Get PriceWhat water treatment process can remove radionuclides? (top) Whether or not a particular treatment technology effectively removes radionuclides from drinking water depends on the contaminant's chemical and physical characteristics as well as the water system's characteristics (e.g., the source water quality and the water system size).

Indeed, absorbing resins could be recycled thermally in conventional waste incineration plant but the high uranium content precludes this. Disposal of the exchanger resins in landfills of classes 0 to 3 is not possible due to the high calorific value.
Get PriceMost low-level radioactive waste is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging. Many long-term waste management options have been investigated worldwide which seek to provide publicly acceptable, safe and environmentally sound solutions to the management of intermediate-level waste and high-level radioactive waste.
