A patented Fluidized Bed Steam Reforming (FBSR) technology uses superheated steam—instead of an open flame—and mineralizing additives to treat and immobilize radionuclides in a water-insoluble matrix. Results show a 6:1 average volume reduction for ion-exchange resins, which allows disposal without entering into higher, more-restrictive and expensive waste classifications. Since initial pilot studies beginning in 1997, FBSR technology has been deployed in the U.S., Japan, and France.
