Abstract

A method is suggested to assess the tolerable salt content of the evaporator bottoms from the data on solubility in salt systems taken as simplified models of liquid radioactive waste (LRW) arising from nuclear power plants (NPP) with boiling reactors. It has been demonstrated that the degree of evaporation may be substantially increased by implementing the process in nitric acid. Equations have been derived that allow the calculation of the minimum needed acidity of the solution to allow maximum evaporation.
