Advanced detritiation technology could solve waste water problem | Nuclear Energy Insider

Advanced detritiation technology could solve waste water problem | Nuclear Energy Insider: Canadian company Laker TRF, a subsidiary of Laker Energy Products Ltd., says that its water detritiation technology could solve decontamination and decommissioning problems at nuclear plants like Fukushima Daiichi and Savannah River Nuclear Laboratory, reducing tritium concentrations to levels below naturally occurring rainwater. This would allow safe release into oceans, as well as supplying the entire global demand of the stable medical isotope oxygen-18, which is produced as a by-product of the process.
