The liquid radioactive waste system of nuclear power plants treats radioactive contaminated wastes generated during the Anticipated Operational Occurrence (AOO) and normal operation using filters, ion exchange resins, centrifuges, etc. When the contaminated waste liquid is transferred to an ion exchanger filled with cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin, nuclides such as Co and Cs are removed and purified. The lifespan and replacement time of the ion exchange resin are determined by performing a performance test on the sample collected from the rear end of the ion exchanger, and waste ion exchange resin is periodically generated in nuclear power plants. In the general industry, most waste resins at the end of their lifespan are incinerated in accordance with related laws, but waste resins generated from nuclear power plants are disposed of by clearance or stored in a HIC (High Integrity Container). Plasma torch melting technology can reduce the volume of waste by using high-temperature heat (about 1,600 degrees) generated from the torch due to an electric arc phenomenon such as lightning, and secure stability suitable for disposal. Plasma torch melting technology will be used to check thermal decomposition, melting, exhaust gas characteristics, and volume reduction at high temperatures, and to ensure disposal safety. Through this research, it is expected that the stable treatment and disposal of waste resins generated from nuclear power plants will be possible.
