Processing of Radioactive Waste

Studsvik offers the treatment of low and intermediate-level waste at its facilities outside Nyköping, Sweden, and in Erwin and Memphis, Tennessee, US. A facility has also been acquired in the UK, where Studsvik has applied for license to treat low level waste. The Swedish facilities process dry and metallic waste from nuclear facilities mainly in Europe, through incineration and melting. The facility at Erwin treats wet waste using a unique proprietary pyrolysis process, THORSM. Low-level waste is treated by other means at Memphis. The primary purpose of incineration is to achieve volume-reduction and stabilization of waste before disposal.
