Description

Low-level liquid concentrate wastes have been immobilized with paraffin was using concentrate waste drying system in Korean nuclear power plants. Small amount of low density polyethylene(LDPE) was added to increase the leaching resistance of the existing paraffin waste form and the influence of LDPE on the leaching behavior of waste form was investigated. It was observed that the leaching of nuclides immobilized within paraffin waste form remarkably reduced as the content of LDPE increased. The acceptance criteria of paraffin waste form associated with leachability index and compressive strength after the leaching test were met with the help of LDPE
