ANALYSIS OF COOLING WATER PURIFICATION IN NUCLEAR REACTORS FROM RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM AND CESIUM ISOTOPES
It is suggested that nuclear power plant cooling water contaminated with radioactive cesium and strontium isotopes should be purified not up to maximum permissible concentrations, which are a hundred or more times higher than natural background radiation levels, but until concentrations that are in line with such natural background levels are reached. An example of an ionic exchange column that provides for such cooling water treatment is given.
