(Cement and bitumen solidified packages, etc.)

Solidified radioactive waste packages with filler (Molten and solidified radioactive waste packages, direct filling solidified radioactive waste packages, etc.)

Facility capacity

200,000 drums

200,000 drums

Disposal time

FY 1992 to now (in operation)

FY 2000 to now (in operation)

Clearance System

Promotion of safe and rational treatment, disposal, and reutilization of wastes etc. generated by utilization of nuclear energy

Clearance level: 0.01 mSv/year (natural radiation level in Japan: 1.5 mSv/year)

Tire level to classify the "materials not required to heat as radioactive materials" as the radioactivity is low enough

Sources: Waste related materials by the Nuclear Safety Commission

Clearance system related materials by the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency

Table 6.8.1 Disposal methods of the radioactive solid wastes of NPPs

Classification

Core internals waste and others (tentative classification) (*1)

Low level radioactive waste

Very low level radioactive waste

Wastes which do not need to be dealt with as radioactive waste

Radioactivity level

Comparatively high

Comparatively low

Very low

Below the clearance level

Disposal method

Disposal in a facility with additional buffer depth

<System being prepared> (Underground disposal at a depth with a margin for general use of the underground space, for example, about 50 to 100 m)

Near surface disposal (Concrete-vault disposal) <In use >

In FY1992, disposal was started at the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Center, Rokkasho, Japan Nuclear Fuel Development Co.

Near surface disposal (Trench disposal) <Verification test> Tokai Research and Development Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (dismantled concrete of JPDR was disposed)

Recycle and disposal in the same way as that for industrial waste <Start of Operation Actual application started in FY 2007 with dismantled metal parts of the Tokai Nuclear Power Plant of Tokai Daiichi PS, Japan Atomic Power Company Co. Ltd.

Waste to be disposed

Activated metal (control rods and core internals), spent resin (reactor clean-up system), etc.

Solidified radioactive waste packages of concentrated liquid waste (homogeneous solidified radioactive waste packages: cement solidified radioactive waste packages, bitumen solidified radioactive waste packages, plastic solidified radioactive waste packages) Miscellaneous solid waste (solidified radioactive waste packages with filler: metals, thermal insulators, concrete etc. are solidified into a drum directly, or by compressing or melting)

(*2)

Wastes, such as non­solidified concrete and metals (metals, plastics, thermal insulators, glass and ceramics)

(*3)

Scrap metal, concrete debris, and glass waste (limited to rock wool and glass wool)
