The study focuses on reassessing the potential of traditional water treatment methods for decontaminating liquid radioactive waste (LRW) at nuclear power plants. Despite the prevailing emphasis on high-energy technologies, the authors demonstrate that sorption–coagulation approaches are competitive in treating contaminated waters and offer clear advantages, including higher efficiency, lower cost and strong scalability potential. This is particularly pertinent under conditions of critical infrastructure stress and resource limitations caused by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
This interdisciplinary study was conducted by a team representing several scientific institutions, all united by the common goal of evaluating environmentally and technologically sustainable solutions for LRW treatment.
The authors would like to express their sincere gratitude to the editors and reviewers of Scientific Reports (Springer Nature) for their thorough work, which has enabled them to significantly improve the manuscript. We are especially grateful for their patience and understanding in the face of the challenging circumstances currently facing the Ukrainian scientific community and Ukrainian science as a whole.
The authors would also like to thank their colleagues at the following institutions for their professional support, scientific advice and constructive discussion of the research results, all of which contributed significantly to the preparation and publication of this work:
