AB - EFFECTIVENESS OF REMOVAL OF TRANSURANIUM ELEMENTS FROM RBMK-1000 REACTOR COOLANT A. M. Vorob'ev and N. P. Starodonova UDC 621.039.534.44 Radiation safety at nuclear power plants (NPP) of all types, both domestic and foreign, requires the removal of radionuclides from the coolant water. The by-pass decontamination systems at NPP are designed to remove corrosion products, soluble salts, and radionuclides from the circulating water. For a multiple forced circulation loop (MFCL) having a total volume of *1200 m a at a NPP with an RBMK reactor 200 m 3 of water are purified per hour. The water is with- drawn from the pressure header of the main circulating pumps, and after appropriate preparation and cooling to 40-50~ is fed into the decontamination system where it passes in succession through a mechanical filter of diatomaceous earth and perlite, a mixed cation-anion exchange resin (KU-2, AV-17) filter, and an entrainment filter. In this process the water is monitored for pH, hardness, C1- content, corrosion products (Fe, Cu), electrical conductivity, and content of certain radionuclides before and after decontamination. The decontaminated coolant is heated to 270~ and returned to the loop. The water of an MFCL may contain not only radionuclides resulting from corrosion
