Abstract

An apparatus for treating ion-exchange resin includes a disk mill having a plurality of disks including corundum for comminuting the ion-exchange resin. Reliable temporary storage or final storage even of coarse-grained ion-exchange resin from a nuclear plant is made possible by reduction of the swelling capacity.
