Abstract

In this paper the problem of utilization of Liquid Radioactive Waste (LRW) is considered. The purpose of this work is determination and evaluation of LRW recycling possibility with application of plasma equipment in powder of metal oxide for further conservation or use. The possibility of such recycling on the basis of thermodynamic modeling is shown. Results of conducted research can be used for designing plasma technology and equipment for utilization and neutralization of LRW.
