Description

Various types of radioactive waste have been generated in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) site. The purpose of this review is to reduce and stabilize radioactive waste by vitrification technology using Cold Crucible Induction Melter (CCIM) - especially waste with a high level of radioactivity such as secondary waste generated from contaminated water treatment systems in which the development of vitrification process using CCIM was carried out. This paper describes approaches to completing development of treatment technology for such waste including IHI's activities. (author)
