PROBLEMS OF MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF REACTOR GRAPHITE
In Ukraine, reactor graphite management and disposal is an urgent problem. Currently, in the out-of-run reactors of Chernobyl NPP, there are over five thousand tons of irradiated graphite. Reactor graphite conditioning and storage/disposal requires searching for real technological solutions. So far the problem of the irradiated graphite’s place in the radioactive waste classification according to the admissibility (non-admissibility) criteria for its disposal in different types of repositories remains unsolved.
