Summary
Reprocessing operations produce medium activity liquid wastes, in which the main components are sodium nitrate and nitric acid. These wastes are treated by evaporation, the distillate is discharged in the environment and all active and inactive salts are concentrated, leading to an important volume of wastes. The overall objective of this work, carried out within the frame work of an CEC contract is to separate long life radionuclides (actinides and Cs — Sr) into a small volume from the large volume of the concentrate.
