Solving Nuclear Effluent Challenges: From Fukushima to Future Reactors

Insights, Innovations, and Lessons Learned from 20+ Years on the Front Lines of Nuclear Effluent Treatment
UMTEC site France

Across the nuclear and industrial sectors, effluent treatment is a mission critical operation that is driven by rising scrutiny, tightening of discharge regulations, and the complex nature of liquid waste. 

Nuclear Power Plants must manage high-activity effluents, aging infrastructure, and strict compliance expectations Oil & Gas operators must safely treat and dispose of NORM-contaminated* water and sludge in sometimes unpredictable, often remote environments.  Rapidly evolving landscapes require operators to be adaptable and use proven solutions that align with their regulatory, safety, and operational goals. 
* NORM: Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials

Veolia’s experts in nuclear and hazardous waste ran an informative webinar to address the complex challenges of these environments and explore tangible solutions to managing radioactive liquid waste under the most demanding conditions; whether during routine operations or in response to critical events. 

Catch up on the webinar recording to:

  • Identify advanced strategies for treating high-activity effluents, including waste characterisation, technology selection and operational integration for both planned and emergency scenarios. 
  • Learn from real-world case studies of solutions developed for hazardous environments, including the creation and deployment of UMTEC, in partnership with EDF
  • Explore scalable solutions for rapid-response treatment that are tailored to NPP’s SMR’s, and NORM operations.
