METHOD OF SOLIDIFYING RADIOACTIVE WASTES AND OTHER TYPES OF DANGEROUS WASTES Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G21F9/16 

FIELD: ecology.

SUBSTANCE: method of solidifying radio active wastes and other dangerous wastes involves heating, saturation with a solution until achieving the required degree of filling, binding and immobilisation of radionuclies and other dangerous wastes inside a block. The block is made from crystalline hydrates of synthetic mineral salts by pouring molten crystalline hydrates into a mould containing liquid wastes. The melt is cooled until formation of solid crystalline hydrates to obtain a solid block.

EFFECT: low power consumption and labour input, high safety of moving, loading and storing solidified wastes.
