Abstract

Decontamination wastewater generated from the HyBRID decontamination process of the primary system in a nuclear power plant contains impurities such as sulfate ions, metal ions containing radioactive nuclides, and hydrazine (carcinogenic agent). For this reason, it is necessary to develop a technology to remove these impurities from the wastewater to a safe level. In this study, it has been conducted to remove the impurities using a decontamination wastewater surrogate, and a treatment process of the HyBRID decontamination wastewater has been established. The performance and applicability of the treatment process have been verified through 1 L scale of replicates and a pilot scale (300 L/batch) test.

원전 일차계통 HyBRID 제염공정에서 발생되는 제염폐액에는 황산이온과 방사성 핵종을 포함한 금속이온 및 발암성 물질의 하이드라진을 포함하고 있어 이를 안전한 수준으로 처리할 수 있는 기술개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 모의 제염폐액내 황산 및 금속이온의 제거와 하이드라진의 분해시험을 실시하여 황산이온, 금속이온 및 하이드라진을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 HyBRID 제염폐액 처리공정을 도출하였으며, 1 L 규모에서의 반복실험과 Pilot 규모(300 L/batch)에서의 평가시험을 통해 도출한 HyBRID 제염폐액 처리공정의 성능 재현성과 적용성을 검증하였다.
