Non-combustible solid waste treatment system

An induction heat melting system which gets a high volume reduction and a stable product in regard to strength, and good containment of radionuclide, is being developed. This system uses the heat from the ceramic canister itself previously placed in the induction heat melting furnace what is called the in-can type ceramic canister. As a results, this melting solidification system is applicable for the treatment of non-combustible solid waste made up of several different types of waste. This paper describes the basic process flow of the induction heat melting system, melting test results using a mock-up plant and radionuclide behavior test results which include radionuclide volatilization rate during the melting and decontamination performance data of the off-gas treatment system using a hot test apparatus. This paper also describes an outline of system, performance of system such as volume reduction ratio and treatment capacity, the safety design and safety measures of system about the non-combustible solid waste treatment system using this induction heat melting system.
