New radioactive waste purification technology successful in Northwest Russia
St. Petersburg and Kola Peninsula scientists have successfully completed an experiment in Northwest Russia, aimed at removing liquid radioactive waste with their artificially synthesized adsorbent.
St. Petersburg and Kola Peninsula scientists have successfully completed an experiment in the Murmansk region, in Northwest Russia, aimed at removing liquid radioactive waste with their artificially synthesized adsorbent, B-port reported. The Ostrovnoy Closed Administrative Territory (ZATO)?a restricted area controlled by Rosatom, Russia?s largest umbrella for nuclear energy companies?was specifically chosen for the experiment, the scientists said. A huge amount of spent nuclear submarine fuel and other nuclear waste has piled up here for long years. The deadly deposits cannot be safely transported to other Russian regions. The experiment, which started in July, was aimed at eliminating the problem right on the spot. According to Sergei Krivovichev, the head of the crystallography chair at St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU), the minerals found on the Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia and used to synthesize the new adsorbent, possess ?very interesting properties of imbibing harmful radionuclides such as cesium and strontium...
