Process and device for reducing radioactive material of object containing radioactive material to safe level in living environment

摘要

A process for reducing a radioactive material of an object containing a radioactive material to a safe level in a living environment includes releasing pressure including carrying out a heating process on an aqueous liquid that includes water, water-soluble liquid, or a mixture of water and water-soluble liquid, and the object in a state where temperature is less than or equal to a critical temperature of the aqueous liquid and pressure is greater than or equal to a saturated vapor pressure of the aqueous liquid when the object is immersed in the aqueous liquid to such a degree that the object is covered or to a greater degree and then abruptly releasing the pressure, and separating, after the releasing pressure, the mixture of the object and the aqueous liquid into liquid and solid.

1. A process for reducing a radioactive material of an object containing a radioactive material to a safe level in a living environment,
the process comprising: releasing pressure including carrying out a heating process on an aqueous liquid that includes water, water-soluble liquid, or a mixture of water and water-soluble liquid, and the object in a state where temperature is less than or equal to a critical temperature of the aqueous liquid and pressure is greater than or equal to a saturated vapor pressure of the aqueous liquid when the object is immersed in the aqueous liquid to such a degree that the object is covered or to a greater degree and then abruptly releasing the pressure; and after the releasing pressure, separating a mixture of the object and the aqueous liquid into liquid and solid, the object being at least one selected from the group consisting of an organism, a sewage sludge, a soil and an incineration ash.
