Incineration of graphite used in nuclear reactor
Description
Tokai Power Station was closed on March 31, 1998 and it is scheduled to be undertaken decommissioning. 1,600 tons of graphite is used in the nuclear reactor as moderator which was irradiated by neutron during the operation. Incineration of the graphite is the largest problem. From this background, graphite oxidation has been investigated, where an ideal method has been invented to practice perfect combustion of radioactive graphite. This new method has been patented on the fundamental simple process which comprises the use of oxygen and no needs of the graphite pulverization. (author)
