(Prior Art) In nuclear power facilities such as nuclear power plants, radioactive materials adhere to equipment, piping, etc., creating the problem of radiation exposure for workers working there. Therefore, radioactive materials must be removed from these equipment, piping, etc.

Waste liquid from decontaminating equipment, piping, etc. using a decontamination agent, that is, decontamination waste liquid, cannot be treated with ion exchange resin because the concentration of the decontamination agent used is high, at several percent. ,

However, in recent years, a dilute decontamination method has been developed that allows effective decontamination even when the concentration of decontamination agent is low, and the decontamination waste liquid generated by this method can be treated with ion exchange resin because the concentration of decontamination agent is low. became. Compared to the concentrated decontamination method mentioned above, the treatment method using ion-exchange resin has the advantage that the treated waste is in the form of a compact ion-exchange resin and is easier to handle, that no excess water is generated during decontamination, and that the decontamination waste liquid is There are many advantages such as no need for additional equipment such as a tank to receive the liquid, and waste liquid treatment is easy. Although this dilute decontamination method has not yet been fully applied in Japan, it is becoming mainstream overseas, and the ion exchange resin generated as waste is disposed of underground as is. In Japan, ion exchange resins are used to purify reactor water in the reactor system, but used ion exchange resins are used to wait for the radioactivity to decay, and the method for disposing of radioactive waste has not been finalized. For this reason, most of them are currently stored in tanks.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Decontamination waste liquid generated by dilute decontamination methods at nuclear facilities can be treated with ion exchange resin as described above, but the treated used ion exchange resin is extremely It contains a lot of radioactivity, and it is problematic to dispose of it immediately after use because it involves high-dose work. Furthermore, when this is packed into drums or the like, it is not possible to pack a large amount due to restrictions on the dose rate on the surface of the drum, and the number of drums inevitably increases. Furthermore, since the disposal method for radioactive waste has not yet been determined in Japan, the waste must be stored in warehouses, etc., so reducing the number of waste drums is important. .

Conventionally, ion exchange resins commonly used in nuclear power plants have been stored in storage tanks to attenuate radioactivity as described above. However, in the case of ion-exchange resins made from decontamination waste liquid, they contain a variety of chemical species derived from decontamination agent components compared to ion-exchange resins used in other systems, so they are not suitable for long-term storage in tanks. Its safety has not been fully established, and there are problems with storing it in tanks as in the past.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention involves treating decontamination waste liquid with a strong acid type cation exchange resin, and then storing the used strong acid type cation exchange resin in a storage tank to remove radioactivity. By attenuating the radioactivity while solidifying the treated decontamination waste liquid without subjecting it to radioactivity attenuation treatment,
This allows safe treatment of decontamination waste fluid.

(Effect) Most of the radioactivity in decontamination waste liquid is cobalt, manganese, iron,
It exists in the form of cations such as zinc and sodium. The anions in the decontamination waste liquid are organic acids (citric acid, oxalic acid, etc.) as decontamination agent components, chelating agents, etc. Among the anion components, only a few anionic nuclides and cations are radioactive. There are only a few that form complex ions with the decontamination agent components and become anions.

Therefore, when decontamination waste liquid is treated with a strong acid type cation exchange resin, the cations in the waste liquid are selectively captured by this cation exchange resin, and most of the radioactive components are taken into this cation exchange resin. Only a small amount of radioactivity is present in the subsequent waste liquid.

Since cation exchange resin does not contain any decontamination agent components, it can be stored in tanks in the same way as waste ion exchange resin generated from the nuclear power plant system, and since it is highly radioactive, storage in tanks can reduce the amount of radiation released. It is appropriate to perform post-processing to attenuate the performance.

On the other hand, since the decontamination waste liquid after treatment contains only a small amount of radioactivity, it can be processed as it is, such as cement solidification, and turned into drums in the form of final waste. The assimilation process is safe because the radioactivity is low, and concentration and concentration are necessary before assimilation.
Volume reduction treatments such as drying and incineration can also be performed.

(Example) The drawings show a process diagram of an example of the present invention. In the drawing, a decontamination waste liquid generated from an object to be decontaminated 1 is treated in a strong acid type cation exchange resin column 2. This strong acid-type cation exchange resin does not need to be H-type, as long as it can easily replace radionuclides in the waste liquid and does not affect subsequent treatment even if it exists in the waste liquid (for example, Na-type cation exchange resin). ). The cation exchange resin is used to remove the decontamination agent adhering to the surface by a cleaning device 3, and is stored in a used resin storage tank 4 to wait for the radioactivity to decay. - On the other hand, the treated decontamination waste liquid and resin cleaning liquid pass through the volume reduction device 5 as they are, and are solidified together with cement in the assimilation device 6 to produce a waste drum 7.

The volume reduction treatment of the decontamination waste liquid after ion exchange treatment can be changed depending on the properties of the decontamination agent. For example, when the decontamination agent contains many organic compounds, methods such as oxidative decomposition are also effective. In addition, as for the solidification method, in addition to cement assimilation, asphalt assimilation and plastic solidification are also possible.

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention, since a strong acid type cation exchange resin is used to treat decontamination waste liquid, most of the radioactivity is removed by this cation exchange resin, and only a small amount of radioactivity is present in the waste liquid. The cation exchange resin that has adsorbed radioactivity is stored in a storage tank to attenuate the radioactivity. On the other hand, since the waste liquid after treatment contains only a small amount of radioactivity, operations such as volume reduction treatment and solidification treatment can be performed safely.
