ABSTRACT:
A practical method is described for preparation of radioactive ion-exchange resin for its disposal after the ion-exchange resin has become radioactive in the process of decontaminating radioactive water. Substantially nonradioactive material, which has been derived from the radioactive ion-exchange resin can be disposed of conventionally. The concentration allows corollary reduction of the volume of radioactive waste which must be handled in very costly ways. The radioactive ion-exchange resin and materials that react with the radioactive decaying atoms are heated under controlled atmospheres to (i) form nonvolatile chemicals that hold the decaying atoms, and (ii) under controlled conditions, depolymerize, vaporize, pyrolize, and otherwise decompose and remove nonradioactive components of the ion-exchange resin from the radioactive decaying atoms.
