In the present work, a three-phase AC arc plasma torch system is proposed to separate inorganic radioactive materials from the organic liquid waste. For this purpose, first, assuming the resistance of arc plasma ranges between 0.1 and 0.2 ohm, we designed a three-phase AC arc plasma power supply with the power level of 20 kW. Then, a three phase arc plasma torch consisting of three carbon rods with the diameter of 20 mm was designed and mounted on a cylindrical combustion chamber with the inner diameter of 150 mm. Detail design and basic performance of the plasma system were presented and discussed for application to the treatment of radioactive slurry wastes.
