Abstract
AbstractThe R&D program supports the safe management of the low‐level and intermediate‐level radioactive waste in Egypt. This program has been started to address the challenges that affect the efficiency and reliability of the management practice. The Egyptian radioactive aqueous waste treatment facility was planned, designed, and implemented to prevent any release to the environment during operations. The existing quality control system for the facility depends on the confirmation of the quality of the treatment process through manual testing of the effluent during operation. In that system, the probabilities of worker exposure to radiation and incidental spill are very high. Within the R&D program, a new quality control system is designed to prevent and mitigate the exposure hazard and the incidental spill. This system is based on controlling the quality of the input waste, chemical processes and products rather than relying on manual testing. In this work, a brief description of the Egyptian low‐level radioactive aqueous treatment waste facility will be given and the current quality assurance program will be briefly presented. The elements of the proposed multilevel quality control system will be covered including the requirement for direct and indirect inspection. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
