7D28 - Low Level Waste Resin from Plant Decontamination (MODIX)
Submarine primary circuit is chemically decontaminated to remove magnetite layer and hence radioactive activation products. Soluble activity is removed from process liquid using ion exchange resin. Primary plant dose rates are significantly reduced as a result of the process.
