A pre design processing of solid radioactive waste using microwave process from nuclear power plant type PWR 1000 MW

A pre design processing of solid radioactive waste using microwave process from nuclear power plant type 1000 MW has been carried out. The aims of study is to conduct pre design solid radioactive waste treatment in the form of incineration ash, ion exchange resins, solid concentrates and metal sludge by microwave process by melting them in a melter using a microwave technique. The results of the reduction of waste volume up to 1/20 times from the original waste volume and having shape very solids so that it will be easily stored and transferred at the waste storage place. Thus, the processing using microwave process has many advantages compared to the immobilization process which is more efficient and effective. In the pre design installation of solid radioactive waste processing is done by compilation of microwave conceptual design and process flow diagram of pre design. (author)
