  • Patent number: 9336913
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for treating a radioactive organic waste, the radioactive organic waste including a cation exchange resin adsorbing radionuclide ions, the method including the step of bringing the radioactive organic waste into contact with an organic acid salt aqueous solution containing an organic acid salt and whereby desorbing the radionuclide ions from the cation exchange resin, in which the organic acid salt contained in the organic acid salt aqueous solution includes a cation that is more readily adsorbable by the cation exchange resin than hydrogen ion is. This enables reduction in concentration of a radioactive substance in the radioactive organic waste and reduction in amount of a high-dose radioactive waste.

  • Publication number: 20100097765
    Abstract: Disclosed are a power conversion apparatus and a power module that can be downsized. Four corners of a power module are fastened to a cooling jacket from its front surface by a front surface side fastening apparatus. Thereafter, a top and a bottom of the housing are reversed, and nuts are screwed with bolts projecting from the rear face of the cooling jacket to fasten the power module. That is, on the top surface of the cooling jacket facing the bolts are arranged an AC terminal of the power module, a DC positive electrode terminal connection portion, and a DC negative electrode terminal. Accordingly, the power module can be downsized.

  • Patent number: 6800196
    Abstract: Radioactive laundry liquid wastes are supplied in a liquid waste heating vessel. Hydrogen peroxide and an alkali solution are supplied to the liquid waste heating vessel. The pH of the radioactive laundry liquid wastes is adjusted to 7 or higher by the alkali solution. The radioactive laundry liquid wastes are heated to 50° C. or higher by a heating device and introduced to first and second aeration vessels. The temperature is controlled by a device in accordance with the value measured by a thermometer. Ozone is supplied from an ozone generator by way of an ozone gas discharge port to the first aeration vessel. Ozone discharged from the first aeration vessel is introduced from the ozone gas discharge port to the second aeration vessel. Therefore, the amount of ozone dissolved into the radioactive laundry liquid wastes is increased so that the amount of hydroxy radicals formed for decomposing organic substances increases, since the laundry liquid wastes are heated to 50° C.
