Thermal and mechanical techniques will be deployed to decrease the volume of waste to be further conditioned into a state suitable for final disposal. NUKEM supplies the technology of a new 25kg/h incinerator to be equipped with relevant auxiliary equipment incl. radiation and chemical monitoring system to utilise the combustible SRW. In cooperation with the Client (NIKIMT-Atomstroy), the equipment supply chain will be optimised to meet the specific project criteria (combination of EU and Russian norms & standards), meanwhile NUKEM remains fully responsible for the design and functionality of the Facility. NUKEM also supplies a 2.000t compactor, including control system. The compactor is equipped with an automatic drum feeding system and an integrated transport system to bring the pellets to the transfer position. The through-type compactor allows loading the compactor and removing the pellets in one single step with a throughput of 6 drums per hour.
