Treatment techniques for removing natural radionuclides from drinking water (TENAWA).

The overall objective of this project is to accumulate information, to test and improve methods and equipments currently available for removing natural radionuclides (Radon-222, Radium, Uranium, Pollonium-210) from drinking water. The objectives are in detail: - to give recommendations on the most suitable methods to remove radionuclides from drinking water with different water qualities - to test, improve and modify commercially available equipments for their ability to remove radionuclides - to find new materials, absorbers, membranes to be applied in effective removal of radionuclides - to give guidelines for the treatment and disposal of radioactive waste produced in water treatment The methods are: - literature survey - laboratory tests - field tests
