Title: Method for storing radiocontaminated waste matter and container therefor
Inventor: TRAN AI VAN
IPC: G21F9/36
Filed: 2015-05-11
Abstract: The method for securely and safely storing waste matter comprises of two steps: first the radio contaminated waste matter and paper sludge-derived sintered carbonized (PSC) atoms are mixed and then retained and stored in a tetragonal cylindrical container tank 1 made of steel sheet, or concrete, or PSC-containing concrete, with a lid 2 and a base 4 made of the same material, so that the spatial gamma radiation dosage of the environment around the tank 1 becomes about the same as that of an environment or place which receives no fall-out radioactive substances. When a mixture of radio contaminated waste matter and PSC is ashed, and the ash thus obtained is again mixed with PSC, and then loaded and stored in said container tank, the spatial gamma radiation dosage around said container tank is to be similar to that of an environment or place which receives no fall-out radioactive substances, and simultaneously both 134Cs and 131Cs are decreased, and as a result radio contaminated waste matter can be securely and safely loaded and stored for a long-period of time.
