Spent Ion Exchange Resins - Retrieval and Packaging for a Waste Facility This project involves collection of resin samples from underground storage vaults and tanks at a shutdown prototype nuclear reactor site, followed by radiochemical characterization to support the safe retrieval and packaging of the spent ion exchange resin from reactor moderator purification and heat transport purification systems. A Kinectrics-developed resin sampling tool with multiple sample compartments and designated work procedures is used to collect the resin samples. A Kinectrics-developed air sampling system with associated work procedures is deployed for collection of headspace air samples. A 3-dimensional physical, chemical, and radiochemical characterization profile of the stored resins is being developed
