Description

This study investigated the radiological properties of lagoon sludges generated from uranium conversion plant. Uranium, thorium-242, and radium-226 contents were analyzed in the samples of each layer. Also, these were analyzed in each sample for investigating characteristics of thermal decomposition, filtration, and dissolution/filtration, which require to choose the treatment process of sludge. These were high in lagoon 1 but low in lagoon 2 because of removing them by calcium hydroxide. These were not exhausted and remained in residues in the thermal decomposition. However, in the filtration and dissolution/filtration, a small amount of the elements remained in filtrate and should be treated
