Abstract
Liquid radioactive wastes are produced during the operation and utilization of submarines. A shipborne station for reprocessing radioactive waters on the service ship “Pinega” has been developed and implemented for the purification of wastes from the Far East. The stricter quality requirements for purified water and the need to purify the wastes to ecologically safe standards for discharging into the sea made it necessary to modernize the station with maximum utilization of existing equipment. New solutions to technological problems, making it possible to purify 200 m3 of liquid wastes to the standards for discharging into the open ocean and to bitumenize the secondary wastes (the charge processed and hydroxide slags), have been developed. 1 figure, 3 tables, 7 references.
