        Lubricant oil waste contaminated with radioactive materials generated at nuclear facilities can be disposed of as industrial waste in accordance with self-disposal standards if only radioactive materials are removed. Lubricant oil used in nuclear facilities consists of oil of 75-85% and additives of 15-25%, and lubricant oil waste contains heavy metals, carbon, glycol, etc. In addition, lubricant oil waste from nuclear facilities contains metallic gamma-ray emission radionuclides including Co-60, Cs-137 and volatile beta-ray emission radionuclides such as C-14 and H-3, which are not present in lubricant oil waste from general industries and these radionuclides must be eliminated according to the Atomic Energy Act. In general industries, the wet treatment technologies such as acid-white soil treatment, ion purification, thin film distillation, high temperature pyrolysis, etc. are used as the refining technology of lubricant oil waste, but it is difficult to apply these technologies to nuclear industrial sites due to restrictions related with controlling the generation of secondary radioactive waste in sludge condition containing radionuclides of metal components, and limiting the concentration of volatile radioactive elements contained in refined oil to be below the legal threshold. In view of these characteristics, the refinement system capable of efficiently refining and treating lubricant oil waste contaminated with radioactive materials generated in nuclear facilities has been developed. The treatment process of this R&D system is as follows. First, the moisture in the radioactive lubricant oil waste pretreated through the preprocessing system is removed by the heated evaporating system, and the beta-emission radionuclides of H-3 and C-14 can be easily removed in this process. Second, the heated lubricant oil waste by the heated evaporating system is cooled through the heat exchanging system. Third, the particulate matters with gamma-ray emission radionuclides are removed through the electrostatic ionizing system. Forth, the lubricant oil waste is stored in the storage tank and the purified lubricant oil waste is discharged to the outside after sampling and checking from the upper, middle and lower positions of the lubricant oil waste stored in the storage tank. Using this R&D system, it is expected that the amount of radioactive waste can be reduced by efficiently refining and treating lubricant oil waste in the form of organic compounds contaminated with radioactive materials generated in nuclear facilities.
