The possibilities for using various technologies for liquid radioactivewaste (LRW) management were considered. Technologies based on theapplication of sorbents highly selective to radionuclides were shown to havegood prospects. Possible ways of increasing selective sorbent efficiency incleaning radionuclide-polluted waters of various types were examined. Theresults of studying new high-selective sorbents produced in the Institute ofChemistry FEDRAS are given. The use of these sorbents enables one to treatLRW of various types in a single stage. The results of testing a sorptionfilter installation for management of LRW produced during operation, repairand disposal of nuclear reactors are presented. Use of this installationresolves a major portion of LRW disposal problems.
