Oil-and-gas wells produce nearly a trillion gallons of toxic waste a year. This is making workers sick and contaminating communities across America. The importance of secondary containment applications has never been greater. This article explores the critical role of nuclear waste storage containment coatings in providing safe and secure storage solutions for radioactive waste. With a focus on Armorthane’s expertise in the field, we will delve into the innovative technologies and solutions they offer for reliable nuclear waste containment.
Highly radioactive waste, also known as high-level waste, comes in two main forms: leftover fuel from nuclear power plants and waste from nuclear weapons production or fuel reprocessing facilities. All of these wastes remain dangerously radioactive for thousands of years and must be disposed of permanently.
About a dozen countries, including Finland, Switzerland, and other European nations, are planning deep geological repositories for their nuclear waste.In the US, government officials have proposed storing the country’s waste in a repository beneath Yucca Mountain in Nevada, but the site has gone in and out of favor with changes in leadership. For now, most nuclear waste accumulates where it is generated, at power plants and processing facilities. Some of it has been sitting in interim storage since the 1940s.
During World War II and the Cold War, the United States generated millions of liters of radioactive waste, a mix of liquid, sediment, and sludge, in the name of national defense. This toxic waste, a byproduct of creating plutonium for nuclear bombs, was collected for 45 years in underground storage tanks, mainly in Hanford, Washington, and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina.
Over 200 million liters of this waste still sits in underground tanks in Hanford alone, waiting to be processed. Many of these tanks are past their design life and leaking, contaminating the subsurface and threatening the nearby Columbia River. Another 136 million liters of waste awaits processing at the Savannah River Site.
Secondary containment is a system of barriers that is designed to prevent the release of radioactive contaminants into the environment in the event of a leak or spill from a primary containment system. Secondary containment is used in a variety of applications in the nuclear waste industry, including:
ArmorThane containment coatings are an essential part of the nuclear waste management system. They help to ensure the safe and environmentally sound handling, storage, and transportation of nuclear waste.
Containment coating applications help to protect workers and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation exposure.
ArmorThane containment coatings can help to reduce the long-term costs of nuclear waste management by protecting equipment and infrastructure from damage.
ArmorThane containment coatings are designed to withstand the harsh conditions associated with nuclear waste management, including high temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and radiation.
