Many nuclear power components operating in Spain have been designed in the U.S. radioactive waste solidification systems used in nuclear power stations in Spain have been imported from the U.S., and are designed according to NRC specifications. As facilities in Spain must provide for longer-term storage for radwastes compared with the U.S., utilities have retrofitted their solidification systems. Processes based on urea formaldehyde have been displaced by cementing systems. Elements of plant retrofitting are discussed, and operating experiences are surveyed.
