Conventionally, the solidification method using cement has been widely used to solidify radioactive waste. When solidifying with cement, water is required, which has the disadvantage of generating a large amount of solidified radioactive waste. For this reason, an asphalt solidification method that does not require water was introduced. However, the solidified material produced by the asphalt solidification method has the drawbacks of being flammable and having low mechanical strength. Recently, a plastic solidification treatment method has been developed and is attracting attention as a solidification treatment method that does not require water during solidification, and the resulting solidified product is nonflammable and has high mechanical strength. Among these plastic solidification methods, those that use thermosetting resins can treat radioactive waste at room temperature, similar to the cement solidification method. Therefore, in the solidification treatment using a thermosetting resin, the in-drum solidification method can be applied. In the in-drum solidification method, it is necessary to store thermosetting resin in a drum, and then to put the radioactive waste that has been dried and powdered into a drum can. It is extremely dangerous.

The invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, radioactive waste liquid 1 supplied from a radioactive waste storage source (not shown) is dried and powdered in a vertical thin film dryer 2, and temporarily stored in a hopper 3. The powder is quantitatively fed from the hopper 3 to the stirring granulator 5 by the screw feeder 4. The stirring granulator 5 is supplied with a binder for granulation from a tank 6.

The radioactive waste granulated by the stirring granulator 5 is sent to the drum 7. The drum 7 is supplied with a fixed amount of solidifying agent from a plastic solidifying agent storage tank 8. Note that an output shaft of a vibrator 9 is connected to the drum 7. Further, the drum 7 is supplied with a polymerization reaction catalyst from a tank 10 and a promoter from a tank 11 at appropriate times.

In the apparatus having the above configuration, the solidification treatment method of the present invention is carried out as follows. That is, in the stirring granulator 5, the powder is made into granules of a constant particle size without powder scattering by adding a binder. On the other hand, a certain amount of plastic solidifying agent is supplied in advance from a tank 8 into the drum 7, and the drum 7 is vibrated by a vibrator 9, and the polymerization reaction catalyst and accelerator are added to the drum 7, and the vibration makes it uniform. The granulated radioactive waste granules are added thereto to proceed with polymerization and hardening to obtain a solidified material.

As described above, in the present invention, the radioactive waste is granulated and put into the drum, so there is no risk of scattering of dangerous radioactive powder. Furthermore, since the vibrator is held in a non-contact manner with the contents of the drum, there is no need for cleaning to remove contamination, as is the case with conventional stirring rotors.
