Alpha Atom LLC develops and implements innovative technologies for the disposal of liquid radioactive waste. Waste disposal plants developed by the company are closed-loop automated solutions that include equipment and software for monitoring and controlling the technological process.
The company brings together specialists in the field of nuclear physics, engineers, technologists, programmers and marketers as well as provides the best solutions in the field of liquid radioactive waste disposal.
Developing a system for the disposal of liquid radioactive waste, as well as striving to further ensure the organization of the safe management of radioactive waste, the company, together with partners, designs new innovative technologies for the disposal of liquid radioactive waste.
Currently, the world has accumulated 486 million cubic meters of liquid radioactive waste (LRW) with an activity of about 4.27·1019
About 450 operating reactors at NPPs continue to add thousands of cubic meters (LRW) to storage annually, their incoming rate at many NPPs being faster than their disposal rate.
One of the major problems with the disposal of liquid radioactive waste is the fact that it cannot be disposed of in liquid form and requires its solidification. Only solid radioactive waste (RAW) can currently be disposed of being buried in specially prepared shelters.
More than 22,000 meters of cubic liquid radioactive waste have been accumulated in the Chernobyl storage facilities. The free volumes of available storage facilities for radioactive waste disposal at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant will fall short within the next 2-3 years.
The process of treating liquid radioactive waste at the acting Ukrainian NPPs is characterized by the lack of a complete cycle, from the formation of liquid radioactive waste to the formation of a product ready for further storage and disposal.
The developed new innovative technological solution is a unique process of liquid radioactive waste disposal, which enables to turn liquid radioactive waste into technically clean water for safe discharge and reduced in volume into solid radioactive residue.
Integrated application of physical, physicochemical methods and nanotechnologies, which enables to achieve an efficient energy-saving process of liquid radioactive waste purification.
