METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VITRIFICATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for solidification of radioactive waste comprising a solidification drum (120) capable of accommodating radioactive waste in powdered, granulated and various others forms; a polymer injection device (110) that injects polymers into said solidification drum and mixes said polymers with radioactive waste contained therein; a measuring device (111) that measures the amount of polymer injected into said solidification drum; an internal vacuum suction device (121) inserted into the bottom of said solidification drum; a vacuum pump (130) connected to said internal vacuum suction device; a controller (140) that controls said polymer injection device (110) and said vacuum pump (130) based on signals received from said measuring device (111); and a recovery container (150), connected to said internal vacuum suction device, that collects excess polymers flowing out of said solidification drum and enables verification of the polymer permeation status inside the same.
