Storage of liquid radioactive wastes

When reprocessing spent nuclear fuel, liquid radioactive wastes are obtained and within the wastes heat is generated from fission, and oxyhydrogen may be set free by radiolysis. The fission heat generated within the liquid wastes is carried off by evaporation cooling and, the vapor so formed is condensed and recycled into the storage vessel for the liquid wastes. The oxyhydrogen is then diluted with the vapor formed during evaporation cooling and converted catalytically.
