At TRP, LWTF was constructed as a facility for processing low radioactive liquid waste and solid waste generated at TRP, and a cold test is been carrying out. In this facility, initially, nitrate waste liquid after separation of nuclides generated with treatment of low radioactive liquid waste was to be solidified by using borate. However, at present, it is necessary to decompose the nitrate in the liquid waste to reduce the environmental burden. For the reason, as a plan to replace the nitrate with the carbonate and to make it as a cement based encapsulation, we are studying for the introduction of the facility. Currently, as a cement solidification technology development for this liquid waste, we are studying the application of cement material based on blast furnace slag (BFS) as a main component. In this report, we show the results of the test conducted on the actual scale (200 L drum can scale).

In order to make this book reflect in the investigation which turned the bitumen solidification object to maintenance of the abandonment object technical standard on condition of carrying out subterranean disposal in the future - solidification - it created for the purpose of utilizing as precious sources of information, such as a nuclide inventory in the living body, group-izing of the past campaign required for typical solidification object selection, and information offer at the time of disposal examination. A development operation history collected so that histories including the shift action in an institution of the formation of discharge reduction of the characteristic of solidification object manufacture outlines, such as composition of the process of an institution and a solidification object and a storage actual result, the contents of an examination of the past campaign, and the solidification object manufactured based on topics or radioactive iodine and radioactive carbon etc., such as the past contents of an examination / operation, may grasp comprehensively in creation, and it carried out as the composition stared the trend of future disposal fixedly. It was a period (for 16 years) until an bituminization demonstration facility processing institution will start a cold examination from April (Showa 57), 1982, and it starts a hot examination from May 4, it starts solidification processing technical development operation from october 6 and it results in the fire explosion accident on March 11 (Heisei 9), 1997, and low level radioactivity concentration waste fluid was processed 7,438 m, and 29,967 bitumen solidification objects were manufactured. According to the accident, it is necessary to hand it down to future generations with processing technology while the bitumen solidification object manufactured in 15 years although the bituminization demonstration facility processing institution came to close the mission holds information precious ...

The Low Radioactive Waste Treatment Technology Development Facility (LWTF) of the Tokai Reprocessing Facility was constructed as a facility for processing low radioactive liquid waste and solid waste generated from the reprocessing facility, and cold tests are being conducted. In this facility, nitrate waste liquor generated with the treatment of liquid waste was made solidified by using borate, but now it is planned to replace it with carbonate waste liquid and then to make cement solidified body. It is studying and designing for equipment introduction. In this report, we investigated the influence of strength and waste composition on change of cement solidified body over time by carrying out cement kneading / solidification test on this carbonate waste liquid on a real scale (200 L drum) will be reported.

Low Active Waste Treatment Development Facility (LWTF) is planning to solidify the cement waste liquid generated at the Tokai Reprocessing Facility. In the previous report, it has been shown that the carbonate waste liquid can be solidified by conducting a solidification test on the waste liquid simulating the carbonate waste liquid containing sodium carbonate and sodium nitrate. On the other hand, it is expected that sodium sulfate will coexist as a foreign substances in the carbonate waste liquid, even though it is a trace amount, and it has been confirmed that there is no effect of sodium sulfate coexists in beaker-scale test. In this report, a actual-scale test is carried out, confirm that there is no effect when sodium sulfate coexists, and the results is reported. It was confirmed that the presence or absence of sodium sulfate in the waste liquid had no effect on the fluidity of the sample after kneading, the compressive strength of the sample after curing, etc., and thus had no effect on the solidified body properties.
