Abstract

Abstract

Safe treatment and disposal of radioactive spent resin is an important issue for health and sustainable development of the nuclear energy industry. This article reviewed systematically the main treatment and conditioning technologies of radioactive spent resin, including cement solidification, chemical oxidation, incineration, supercritical water oxidation, supercompaction, etc. The basic principle, technological process, technical features, secondary waste, reduction ratio and application of various technologies were compared. The new technologies such as supercritical water oxidation (SCWO), steam reformation and cold crucible were discussed. Indicated waste resin treatment development ideas were "waste minimization" and long-term safe disposal. SCWO, steam reformation, cold crucible and other new treatment technologies were development direction. These special technique challenges and research emphases were described and proposed, respectively. Finally, combing with the need of China’s nuclear development, radioactive waste resin treatment and conditioning technology research and development suggestions were actually provided.
