Spent resin treatment/processing in U.S. nuclear facilities

Spent resin treatment/processing in U.S. nuclear facilities

Spent resin treatment/processing in U.S. nuclear facilities

(OP)
1. Do U.S. nuclear stations keep spent resins on-site (similar to Japan) or deliver to companies/places similar to GTS and Studsvik?
2. How long are the resins stored on site?
3. What are the rad levels when removed from service at the station and then when shipped off site?
4. How much spent resin is shipped each year and how much is stored on site?
5. What are the rad levels that can be treated/processed?
6. Are there technical articles that address the questions above and if so where could I find them?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

RE: Spent resin treatment/processing in U.S. nuclear facilities

Try www.radwaste.org for information on all sorts of stuff related to waste: processing, transportation, disposal, etc. I don't know if you'll find exactly what you're looking for, but it's probably a good place to start.
