Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to a solidifying agent for solidifying radioactive waste, and more particularly to a solidifying-agent composition for solidifying radioactive waste, including alumina cement and a gypsum powder. The solidifying-agent composition including alumina cement and a gypsum powder is capable of effectively minimizing an increase in the volume of a solidified radioactive waste product to a level satisfying physical and chemical safety regulations upon the solidification of radioactive waste.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A solidifying-agent composition for solidifying radioactive waste, comprising alumina cement, a gypsum powder, and a defoaming agent. 2. The solidifying-agent composition of claim 1 , wherein the alumina cement is contained 10 to 70 parts by weight of 100 parts by weight of the composition, and the gypsum powder is contained 5 to 50 parts by weight of 100 parts by weight of the composition. 3. The solidifying-agent composition of claim 2 , further comprising, of the total of 100 parts by weight of the composition, 1 to 10 parts by weight of a resin powder, 0.01 to 3 parts by weight of a reaction accelerator, 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a retention agent, 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of the defoaming agent, and 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a fluidizing agent. 4. The solidifying-agent composition of claim 1 , comprising a compressive strength of at least 13.5 MPa after the solidifying agent is mixed with radioactive waste, sealed, and wet cured for 28 days.
