Abstract
The selective removal of radiocesium was studied using a column filled with resorcinol-formaldehyde polycondensate resin (RFPR) prepared in the laboratory. The feed to tile column was a simulated alkaline radio active waste solution with high salt load of spent fuel reprocessing p lant origin. Repeated loading-elution-regeneration cycles were conduct ed to determine reproducibility of breakthrough behaviour. The breakth rough data were correlated with batch equilibration data on cesium upt ake. The quantitative elution of sorbed radiocesium was also confirmed .
