High radioactivity filter

摘要

A high radioactivity filter system is disclosed. The invention utilizes within a container substructure a filter employing a combination of specially selected filtration and ion exchange media and a structural design of equipment for substantially or totally providing and/or rendering Class A waste forms and preventing the formation of Class B, C and GTCC waste forms. The invention also provides both ion exchange and filtration of liquid radioactive wastestreams.

主权项

1. A high radioactivity filter system comprising:
a container substructure; a filter arrangement within said container substructure, said filter arrangement employing a combination of specially selected filtration and ion exchange media and a structural design of equipment which prevents the formation of Class B, C and GTCC waste forms, and provides both ion exchange and filtration of liquid radioactive wastestreams; the system further comprising dewatering internals for removing water during processing, said dewatering internals comprising influent piping through which liquid enters said container substructure and exits at a central portion of said container substructure, and separate effluent piping through which liquid enters at a bottom portion of said container substructure and exits said container substructure; and an internal basket located at said central portion of said container substructure so as to be spaced apart from said bottom portion of said container substructure, such that liquid flowing from said influent piping passes through said internal basket and then to other media located in said container substructure.
