The article presents a comparison of technologies for liquid radioactive waste bottom sediment processing from NPPs with WWER-1200 reactor units. Vitrifi cation and cementing methods were compared based on the state of art in the development of the Unifi ed State System for Radioactive Waste Management, as well as engineering and design study of various processing methods. The research demonstrates that industrial use of the vitrifi cation method can be seen as a promising one when it comes to the processing of liquid radioactive waste from NPPs and radiochemical plants.
