ANSTO is one step closer to implementing the ANSTO Synroc® radioactive waste treatment technology for waste from Mo-99 production in Australia, with this purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility.
Project milestones
Construction of the ANSTO Synroc® waste treatment plant building has been completed.
The facility is now in the integrated cold-commissioning phase, with hot commissioning to then follow. Regulatory approval will then be sought to operate the waste treatment plant.
Once operational, Australia will be the first country in the world with co-located and integrated facilities for the irradiation of Mo-99 target plates in the OPAL reactor, production of Mo-99 (via ANSTO’s Mo-99 Manufacturing Facility) and treatment of intermediate-level liquid waste
Treatment Process
ANSTO Synroc® operates under a quality assurance framework to ensure certifications and accreditations are met.
