Development of Computerized Radioactive Waste Disposal System for BWR Nuclear Power Plants

A Computerized radioactive waste disposal system has been developed with the main objectives of reduction of man-power, reduction of radioactive exposure, and improvement of waste disposal processing performances. The system is built around a high performance minicomputer and its main features are complete monitoring of the system utilizing color CRT displays and logging of the mass balance of the system. Operational experience of the system proved that radioactive waste disposal processing performances have been greatly improved by computerization.
