    摘要: The invention relates to technology for processing liquid radioactive waste containing, inter alia, tritium isotopes, which are formed in various nuclear industry plants, and also during decommissioning of such plants. The technical result of the claimed invention consists in simplifying the technological procedure for processing liquid radioactive waste containing, inter alia, tritium isotopes by excluding complicated and lengthy operations associated with testing a concrete mixture produced from deactivated liquid radioactive waste, and also in increasing the ecological safety by reducing the size of areas for storage of the waste produced during the processing of the liquid radioactive waste. The claimed technical result is achieved in that a method for processing liquid radioactive waste containing, inter alia, tritium isotopes involves removing radioactive substances from the liquid radioactive waste so as to produce a low-level waste solution, and introducing a binder into the low-level waste solution produced in order to prepare a concrete mixture which complies with structural, radioecological, and sanitary and hygiene requirements, wherein components that have a negative effect on the technical characteristics of the concrete mixture being produced are removed from the low-level waste solution before the binder is added.
