Abstract: The objective of this study is to develop an integrated workstation for rapid decontamination of low and intermediate level liquid radioactive wastes. The workstation comprises of an electrochemical amalgamator that allows the reduction of different radio nuclides cations in the waste and eventually form amalgamates. The de-amalgamation results in purification of mercury and leftover of radioactive waste residue behind as secondary waste.
