Abstract

A process and an apparatus for cleaning nuclear reactor cooling water with cation exchange resin whose ion-exchanging groups have a bonding energy of not more than 300 KJ/mole are disclosed, whereby the radiation exposure of operators in an atomic power plant can be considerably reduced, and the waste ion exchange resin can be readily disposed.
