Abstract
We analyze the basic trends in the use of electric-arc plasma for radioactive waste decontamination. We present a scheme and performance figures of a process for a shaft-type furnace with fuel-plasma heating. We present the results of numerical and experimental investigations for a 150-kW direct-flow plasma reactor.
