Process technologies for tomorrow.PROCESSING SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR MATERIALS
Mixing nuclear materials
The Nauta® conical screw mixer has proven its usefulness in the production of nuclear fuel. It can be used for mixing uranium oxides, for mixing plutonium (recovered from used reactor fuel) with depleted uranium in the manufacturing of mixed oxide (MOX) fuel and also for the reprocessing of weapons-grade plutonium (from military sources) to manufacture nuclear fuel rods for the production of electricity.
Drying & Immobilisation of Contaminated Materials
The Nauta® vacuum dryer can be used to increase the dry mass content of wash liquids. It is also suitable for drying (low) contaminated materials prior to immobilisation for long term waste storage.
The immobilisation process can be performed using a Flexomix mixer/agglomerator. It mixes a solidifying mixture with contaminated wet nuclear material and water.
Size Reduction, Compaction & Containment
Besides mixing, drying and agglomeration equipment, the Hosokawa Group can also supply size reduction/compaction equipment and containment solutions for the processing and of handling hazardous materials.
