Method of processing low level radioactive wastes

Purpose: To enable to dispose a great amount of low level radioactive wastes with safety in the process of burying underground radioactive wastes tightly sealed in vessels. Method: Water shield walls surrounding the boundary of a disposal site are constructed by the method of successively repeating the steps of digging out shafts holes with the width corresponding to the wall thickness and reaching the water impermeable layer of the disposal site, putting iron wire cages into the holes and then spiking concretes. Then, vertical shafts each of a rectangular transversal section are dug out in the disposal site surrounded with the walls with an appropriate gap from the wall. Then, after accommodating vessels containing low level radioactive wastes tightly shield therein in the shafts, stabilizing liquid filled in the shafts is replaced with self-curing stabilizing liquid, by which radioactive wastes can be disposed with safety being covered around the periphery thereof and with the outside of them being surrounded with the water shield walls.
