A rapid method for decontamination of low and intermediate level liquid radioactive wastes by amalgamation
[en] The objective of this study is to develop an integrated workstation for rapid decontamination of low and intermediate level liquid radioactive wastes. The workstation comprises of an electrochemical amalgamator that allows the reduction of different radionuclides cations in the waste and eventually from amalgamate. The de-amalgamation results in purification of mercury and leftover a radioactive waste behind as secondary waste. (author)
