    摘要: A method of solidifying a radioactive waste of an atomic power plant, for example, begins with concentrating the liquid waste to powder or pellet form to reduce its volume. Prior to reducing its volume, an estimation is made of what the concentration will be once the liquid waste is converted into powdered or pelletized form. The powdered or pelletized waste is charged into a container, and a solidi­fying agent is poured over the contents to form a solidified body. The solidifying agent is prepared to have a desired coefficient of distribution that is determined in accordance with the estimated concentration of the reduced volume solidified waste so that the amount of leaching of the solidified body that is produced will be less than or equal to a predetermined value, such as the known value of leach­ing for a conventional cement-solidified waste that is not processed to reduce its volume before being solidified.
