Abstract  

Recent work directed towards synthesizing and exploring new effective sorbents for radiocesium removal from primary coolants of pressurized water nuclear reactors of the WWER type is presented. Various sorbents synthesized on the basis of titanium hexacyanoferrate are compared with one another from the point of view of their sorption efficiency and stability. The uptake of137Cs from solutions containing boric acid and millimolar quantities of ammonium and potassium ions was studied under conditions simulating the process of purification of the coolant bled from the primary circuit of the reactor. A composite-type sorbent was selected of good mechanical properties and negligible solubility, efficiently decontamining large amounts of the solution (considerably exceeding 104 bed volumes) in the course of the column process.
