Treatment of radioactive effluent from a nuclear power plant’s reactor building

France

CTP environnement was asked to define and implement a solution for treating effluent generated by the partial demolition of a reactor building’s structure for subsequent renovation. The effluent in question was liquid sludge containing mineral matter (demolished concrete) and metal (descaled steel) at a concentration of 5 to 20 g/L.

Having tested the demolition operation on a model, it was possible to recover the effluent produced in order to conduct laboratory tests and to define the treatment and dewatering pathway.

CTP environnement carried out sludge treatment using neutralisation and flocculation, followed by online dewatering and water filtration and finishing.
