When decommissioning and operating nuclear power plants, a lot of radioactive waste in concentrated waste powder, slurry, sludge, and powder is generated. The radioactive waste, non-conformity for disposal, cannot be treated or disposed of, but is currently being stored instead. To dispose of the waste, the waste can be solidified by mixing with an appropriate solidification agent. However, when the solidification agent and powder particles are mixed as in the conventional method, the final volume of the waste form to be disposed of increases. In order to solve this problem, in this study, volume reduction was achieved, compared to the existing powder, by applying the roll compaction technology to mold the radioactive waste into compressed pellets. Soil, concrete, concentrate waste, and contaminated soil powder were used as test materials, and pellets were prepared under different operating conditions. Subsequently, a compressive strength test was performed to confirm the integrity and optimal process conditions of the manufactured pellets. However, in order to perform the compressive strength test, the upper and lower surfaces of the pellets must be horizontal, but the pellet has the shape of two tetrahedrons joined together. Hence, test specimens for measuring compressive strength were prepared by making a surface treatment jig. The compressive strength test showed a high strength of 5.20~28.20 MPa. The process conditions showing high compressive strengths were selected as the optimal process conditions. Finally, the volume reduction ratios were calculated by measuring the weight, density and volume of the manufactured pellets. The degrees of volume reduction of the manufactured pellets compared to the existing powder were checked. When the roll gap was 0 mm, the average reduction ratios of the test materials were 3.7 for the soil, 4.0 for the concrete, 4.6 for the concentrate waste, and 3.8 for the contaminated soil. When roll gap was 1 mm, the ratios were 2.7 for the soil, 2.9 for the concrete, 3.4 for the concentrate waste, and 2.8 for the contaminated soil. Therefore, from a conservative point of view (Roll gap = 1 mm), when powdered waste is formed into pellets, it means that the volume is reduced by 1/2.7 for soil, 1/2.9 for concrete, 1/3.4 for concentrated waste, and 1/2.8 for contaminated soil.
