PREDIS – H2020 (Pre-disposal management of radioactive waste)

In 2020, Isotoptech Zrt. joined the PREDIS – H2020 (Pre-disposal management of radioactive waste) project.

The PREDIS project targets the development and implementation of activities for pre-disposal treatment of radioactive waste streams other than nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.

Member States will profit from measurable benefits including the further development and increase in Technological Readiness Level of treatment and conditioning methodologies for wastes for which no adequate or industrially mature solutions are currently available.

Isotoptech Ltd. is the leader of the following sub-task:

Sub-task T2.3.2 – Waste forms characterisation

  • Knowledge of the radionuclide and chemical inventory (including metals and organic compounds) of the waste to be disposed is important for transport, operation and post-closure safety cases. A number of methods have been developed to physically and chemically characterise waste forms/waste packages, to quantify non-radiological properties, and to determine difficult-to-measure isotopes.
  • This sub-task provides an overview of these methods and evaluates their effectiveness, taking into account both technical and economic aspects.
