CONDITIONING EXPERIMENTS OF LIQUID SCINTILLATION COCKTAILS USED FOR TRITIUM ANALYSES

Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper describes the results of a liquid scintillation cocktails conditioning method. This radioactive waste type is generated by the radio-chemical analysis lab of a CANDU nuclear power plant. Liquid scintillation cocktails are converted into a stable monolithic form, which minimizes the probability to release radionuclides in the environment during their interim storage, transportation and final disposal
