Nuclear Waste Management: Safe, Fast, and Scalable Solutions

Swedish Technology Clears 95,000 Liters of Radioactive Waste in Just 9 Days — A Breakthrough in Nuclear Waste Management

For teams handling hazardous or radioactive waste, time and safety are critical. We’ve heard time and again how traditional methods fall short - they are slow, expensive, or too risky. That’s why we were proud to see our RBR system featured in North Sweden Cleantech, where it was presented reducing 95,000 liters of radioactive wastewater to just 56 liters of solid material. After more than two decades of storage without a viable solution, the problem was resolved in just over a week. It’s one way we’re helping organizations adopt a safer, faster, more efficient approach to nuclear waste management.
