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.

An object of the present invention is to improve retainability (distribution coefficient) for C-14 of a radioactive waste solidified body. The waste is solidified with a solidification agent containing a soluble substance which yields an insoluble substance by a reaction with carbonic ions, insoluble carbonates, or a mixture of the above substances. And, as for a pre-treatment, the soluble substance which yields an insoluble substance by a reaction with carbonic ions is previously reacted with liquid waste, and subsequently the solidification is performed. The retainability (distribution coefficient) for C-14 of the solidified body of the waste increases about one order.

In a method of processing radioactive spent ion exchange resin, the spent ion exchange resin is pyrolyzed in an inert atmosphere and harmful decomposition gas such as sulfur and nitrogen compounds generated during pyrolysis is separated. Next, the spent ion exchange resin is pyrolyzed in oxidizing atmosphere and harmless gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor gases are separated. It is preferred that a transition metal as a catalyst be adsorbed through ion exchange into spent cation exchange resin, and an anionic atom group containing a transition metal as a catalyst be adsorbed through ion exchange into spent anion exchange, before both of the pyrolysis steps. The pyrolysis is carried out at two atmosphere stages, and the harmful and harmless gases are decomposed separately. The pyrolysis in both of pyrolysis steps is effected at a temperature in the range of from 240.degree. to 420.degree. C. The proportions of the sulfur and nitrogen compounds in spent ion exchange resin after pyrolysis, and also the processing volume of the spent ion exchange resin can be reduced. And scattering of radioactive substances can be prevented. By adding a catalyst to the spent ion exchange resin, pyrolysis is carried out at a low temperature.

YThis invention concerns solidification products capable of immobilizing radioactive wastes containing water soluble solid components stably for a long period of time, as well as a process for producing the same, in which radioactive wastes are immobilized with an alkaline earth metal silicate compound and the alkaline earth metal silicate compound intakes the water content in the solidifying agent as the bound water to or a hydrate. High temperature and high humidity condition has been found to be necessary upon curing in order to take the water content as the bound water. This invention can provide solidified wastes with less development of detects such as open pores or cracks.

摘要:
The present invention provides drying and pulverization of a radioactive liquid waste containing sodium borate as a main component by heating, where the liquid waste is heated, dried and pulverized to substantially crystalline, homogeneous powder of sodium borate while suppressing occurrence of a foaming phenomenon of the powder. The susbtantially crystalline powder is obtained by heating, drying and pulverizing the liquid waste at a temperature outside the temperature range where the salt powder takes an amorphous state in the course of releasing water of crystallization from the salt powder. In the drying and pulverization of a liquid waste containing sodium borate by a thin film evaporator, occurrence of the foaming phenomenon can be suppressed by maintaining the temperature on the heat transfer surface of the evaporator at a temperature lower than 150.degree. C.
