【英国谢菲尔德大学网站2013年11月6日报道】英国谢菲尔德(Sheffield)大学工程学院正在研发一种可大幅减少放射性废物体积的技术。现有研究表明,将钚污染废物与高炉渣混合,然后对混合物进行玻璃固化,可以将废物体积减少85%~95%。在经过上述工艺处理之后,可以获得一种能够有效锁定放射性钚的稳定的最终产品。在英国核设施的运行和退役过程中可能 【University of Sheffield UK website November 6, 2013】 The College of Engineering at Sheffield University in the UK is developing a technology that dramatically reduces the volume of radioactive waste. Existing research shows that plutonium-contaminated waste is mixed with blast-furnace slag and then glass-solidified to reduce the waste volume by 85% to 95%. After the above process, a stable final product that can effectively lock in radioactive plutonium can be obtained. It is possible to operate and decommission nuclear facilities in the UK
