摘要:
A system for discriminating radiation-contaminated fragements (1) on the basis of a predetermined radioactive concentration includes a detection device (7) for detecting the radiation of the fragments (1), the detection device (7) having a path (88) of transfer of the fragments (1), at least one radiation detector (2) disposed at one of the inside and outside of said transfer path (88), and a transfer device (83; 90; 98) for sequentially transferring the fragments (1) in the transfer path (88); a convey device (42) for conveying the fragments (1) to said detection device (7); and a controller (100) for determining the radioactive concentration of the fragments (1) in accordance with the radiation detected by the detection device (7) and for judging whether or not the radioactive concentration of the fragments (1) is the predetermined radioactive concentration. The controller (100) is also operable to control the transfer device (83; 90; 95; 98) so as to adjust the speed of transfer of the fragments (1) in the transfer path (88). The system further includes a density detecting device (39) for detecting the density of the fragments (1) to be conveyed to the detection device (7). The controller (100) corrects the above determined radioactive concentration by the density detected by the density detecting device (39).

A method of processing radioactive waste resin by pyrolyzing radioactive waste ion exchange resin generated in a nuclear plant such as a nuclear power station. First, the ion exchange resin is pyrolyzed at a low temperature, and the resulting decomposition gas is separated. Second, the ion exchange resin at a high temperature, and the resulting decomposition gas is separated. Finally, the residue of the ion exchange resin is hot-pressed into a molded article (50).

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a waste package of radioactive waste containing particles of radioactive waste material of low modulus of elasticity, particles of radioactive waste material of high modulus of elasticity, and a soldifying agent in which the particles of radioactive waste material of low modulus of elasticity and the particles of radioactive waste material of high modulus of elasticity are fixed in an almost uniformly dispersed state. According to this invention, the radioactive waste generated from nuclear power plants can be greatly reduced in volume and also a waste package of radioactive waste with high strength and excellent water resistance can be obtained.

A method of and an apparatus for pelletizing a radioactive waste powder is disclosed. The apparatus includes a pelletizing section, and a pelletizing die (12) which has one end (12a) facing a powder receiving cavity (23) formed in the pelletizing section and the other end (12b) exposed to the atmosphere, and a through bore (12c) is so formed in the die as to pass from the one end (12a) to the other end (12b). A first pelletizing rod (13) can be inserted into and pulled out of the through bore (12c) from the one end (12a) of the die (12) through the cavity (23), and a second pelletizing rod (8) can be inserted into and pulled out of the through bore (12c) from the other end (12b) of the die (12). The first and second rods (13, 8) are arranged such that, when the second rod (8) takes a predetermined position in the through bore (12c), the first rod (13) is inserted through the receiving cavity (23) into the through bore (12c), thereby enabling the pelletizing operation of the powder (1) within the through bore (12c). The structure is adopted for allowing air compressed in the through bore (12c) to be discharged into the cavity (23) without causing the compressed air to leak into the atmosphere during the pelletizing operation.
