INSTALLATION FOR PROCESSING OF RADIOACTIVE CARBON WASTE, IN PARTICULAR, GRAPHITE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G21F9/30 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method for processing radioactive carbon waste includes the delivery of waste to one or more radioactive isotope separation sites, at least carbon 14, chlorine 36 and tritium. The delivery of waste to each of the sections is carried out in a wet state. Treatment of carbon 14 is preceded by the separation of chlorine 36 and tritium, for which waste is mixed with water in the form of a suspension, then subjected to mechanical filtration and drying. The water obtained after drying contains all or part of the chlorine 36 that was present in the waste prior to drying and after the separation of the chlorine 36 the waste is calcined by roasting and then washed to obtain after washing the water that contains all or part of the tritium that was present in the waste prior to roasting. There is also a plant for processing radioactive carbon waste.

EFFECT: group of inventions allows the waste to be delivered to each of the sites in the wet state, with water being a common carrier medium for delivery to each of the separation sites.
