  • Patent number: 11587693
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a solidifying method of a radionuclide. The solidifying method of the radionuclide includes operations of: providing a low melting point glass including Bi2O3, B2O3, ZnO and SiO2; providing a glass mixture mixing a mixture to be treated containing a hydroxide of radionuclide and BaSO4 and the low melting point glass; and heating the glass mixture.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11289232
    Abstract: A chemical decontamination reagent containing a reducing agent, a reductive metal ion, and an inorganic acid is provided to remove a radioactive oxide layer on a metal surface. The reagent can dissolve the radioactive oxide layer on the metal surface effectively at a relatively low temperature and enables a simple process of contacting the reagent to the radioactive oxide, thus economically effective in terms of cost and time required for the process. Since the decontamination does not use a conventional organic chelating agent such as oxalic acid, but the reducing agent as a main substance, the residuals of the reducing agent remained after decontamination can be decomposed and removed with an oxidizing agent. Due to the easy decomposition with the chemical decontamination reagent, secondary wastes can be minimized and the radionuclides remained in the decontamination reagent solution can be removed effectively.

  • Patent number: 10860751
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting process simulation method and a system thereof which can efficiently optimize the decommissioning process of a nuclear facility, thereby saving costs and time and ensuring safety in the decommissioning process. The cutting process simulation system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise: a display unit: and a control unit which cuts a cutting target in a nuclear facility by using a design program, displays the cut shape on the display unit, and predicts the amount of secondary waste generated in the process of cutting the cutting target.

  • Patent number: 10414045
    Abstract: Disclosed are a device and a method for controlling a motor. According to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, an input shaft of a motor is provided with a low-resolution absolute position detector and an output shaft of the motor is provided with a low-resolution absolute position detector having a resolution greater than or equal to a reduction gear ratio. An initial offset and an offset are defined accordingly, and a high-resolution output shaft absolute position is derived from a relational expression, which is defined by an input shaft absolute position received at a predetermined time interval, a derived offset, an output shaft absolute position, and the reduction gear ratio, such that it is possible to easily detect the high-resolution output shaft absolute position by using a low-price absolute position detector without the modification or addition of an actuator.
