This case study examines the innovative application of mechanochemical destruction (MCD) technology by Veolia Nuclear Solutions (VNS) for treating difficult nuclear waste.
Developed by Environmental Decontamination (NZ) Ltd (EDL) for asbestos and pollutants, this technology's feasibility in the nuclear sector was explored in collaboration with Sellafield.
Following a successful initial phase, discussions are progressing towards a second phase aimed at further risk mitigation.
