5.Harmonization with the Environment

With a wealth of experience in operation, APWR plants seek the harmonization with the environment, and in order to realize cleaner operation and maintenance, strive to achieve the improvement such as the reduction of the occupational exposure and the radioactive waste by applying the state-of-the-art technology.

[graph]Comparison of Generated Radioactive Waste

  • Reduced boric acid waste by using enriched boron-10
  • Reduced effluent by means of the enhanced drain recovery system
  • Reduced waste by adopting the boric acid recovery system
  • Improved volume reduction by adopting the high-performance cement solidification system.
