[Detailed Description of the Invention] The invention enables radioactive waste to be hardened and rocked together with silicate powder under hydrothermal conditions, and then disposed of by being thrown into the ground or the sea without polluting the environment. This concerns a method for containing radioactive waste contained in artificial rocks.

Conventionally, radioactive waste treatment has been carried out, or considered, by assimilation containment using concrete or glass, which involves dumping or burying the waste on the ocean floor or in the soil. However, concrete, which is a hardened body made of cement, undergoes only a transient reaction, and when the reaction is completed, the hardened body collapses. In other words, concrete has a lifespan of 50~
It is said to be 150 years old. Therefore, there is a high risk of environmental pollution when processing waste containing radioactive isotopes that have a longer lifespan than concrete. ! Regarding the method of sealing the glass by melting it at high temperatures, there is a risk that not only the strength of the glass will decrease due to crystallization of the glass and deterioration due to radiation, but also that radioactive substances may escape at high temperatures during the melting and containment. There are many problems (not implemented).

In this invention, silicate powder (including silica, calcium silicate, zeolite, feldspar, clay, etc.) is hardened together with radioactive waste under hydrothermal conditions to form a rock-like material that can be dissolved in the soil or deep sea. The purpose is to safely dispose of radioactive waste by containing it in a non-destructive manner.

This invention will be explained in detail. Radioactive waste is divided into three ranks depending on its form and radioactivity intensity. The first rank is highly radioactive waste derived from spent nuclear fuel. It contains a wide variety of nuclides, is highly radioactive, and poses a risk of generating heat. If this heel waste is disposed of using the method according to the present invention, the procedure will be as follows. That is, silicate powder, such as silica or clay, is mixed with radioactive waste. This is combined with an alkaline aqueous solution and pushed into the reaction chamber 4 of the cylinder 1 of the hot water compression shaping machine shown in the drawing. It is then heated externally while being compressed by the piston 2.3. 250'C, 450~ for 30 minutes reaction
A cured pellet having a compressive strength of 500/d is obtained.

There is a method of adsorbing radioactive substances in the primary cooling water of nuclear reactors, etc. in nuclear power plants, etc., which is shown in the second rank, to zeolite, but in the present invention, this adsorbed zeolite is shown in the drawing. The mixture is cured in the same manner as in the first case using a hot water compression shaping machine. Next, this is wrapped in a mixed powder of silica powder and slaked lime mixed with a small amount of alkaline water, and hardened and shaped using a large hot water compression shaping machine. The outer hardened body in this case protects the interior of the insoluble calcium silicate (tobermorite) toner.

The third rank refers to low-level radioactive waste, such as those originating from decontamination work or exhaust wastewater from radiation handling facilities, and the treatment of these wastes is generally the ash from combustion. I will do it. Combustion ash from rags and paper mainly consists of silica, alumina, and calcia, so if it is mixed with an alkaline aqueous solution, it can be easily hardened and shaped using the hot water and compression shaping machine shown in the drawing.

In the case of radioactive waste of any rank 1, 2, or 3, it is triple-solidified with strong and stable rocks that exist in nature. It was tobermorite. The remains of ancient civilizations that still exist today are stone materials such as marble. Chert and tobermorite have greater mechanical strength and chemical resistance (difficulty weathering) compared to natural marble and limestone.
We can guarantee a more stable existence than marble, which has survived for thousands of years. Furthermore, compared to the glass melting and encapsulation method, the cured product according to the present invention is a so-called polycrystalline material having many grain boundaries, has a greater ability to capture radioactive substances, and does not reduce its strength.

As explained above, this invention confines radioactive waste in artificial rocks using hydrothermal conditions, safely dumps them underground or on the ocean floor, and allows rock types to be selected depending on radioactivity intensity. The feature is that it can also be applied to radioactive waste.
