APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING RADIOACTIVE WASTES USING ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus for processing radioactive wastes using atmospheric plasma is provided to remove contaminants from the radioactive waste at atmospheric pressure without using an additional vacuum system. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for processing radioactive wastes using atmospheric plasma includes a surface adhesion part, an atmospheric plasma generator, a secondary product collection unit, a secondary product absorption unit, and a fixing unit. The surface adhesion part(50) adheres the apparatus to a contaminated surface of a target. The atmospheric plasma generator(10) is used for generating the atmospheric glow plasma to the surface adhesion part. The secondary product collection unit(20) collects the secondary products, which are generated, from the chemical reaction between the plasma radical of the atmospheric plasma generator and the contaminated surface of the target. The secondary product absorption unit(30) absorbs the secondary products from the secondary product collection unit. The fixing unit(40) fixes the atmospheric plasma generator to the secondary product collection unit.
