CONT

Les points principaux à prendre en considération lorsque l'on envisage une incinération [des déchets radioactifs] sont : - l'état physique [...]; - l'état chimique : la présence d'halogènes entraîne l'apparition dans les gaz de combustion d'acides (HCl, HF) très corrosifs. L'incinérateur et les dispositifs de traitement des gaz doivent être conçus et réalisés en conséquence; - le pouvoir calorifique et l'humidité des produits incinérés : c'est eux qui déterminent les caractéristiques du four.
