Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cooling a steel plate comprising the steps of: forming a water pool with jets of cooling water being injected to impinge on one another by using one slit-nozzle and a plurality of induced laminar flow nozzles, the slit nozzle being provided in a position on an upper surface side of the steel plate, and the induced laminar flow nozzles being provided in a position on a lower surface side of the steel plate along a transfer direction and a direction perpendicular to the transfer direction; and passing the steel plate into the water pool, wherein when a top portion of the steel plate passes over the induced laminar flow nozzles located at least on the side of highest upstream, a volume of the cooling water to be injected from each of the induced laminar flow nozzles is reduced.

Abstract: Although a chelating agent solution having radioactive contaminants is solidified by mixing with cement and then stored, a vast storage place is required for storing an enormous amount of chelating agent solution. When such a chelating agent solution is treated with an ion-exchange resin, a large amount of ion-exchange resin is required, and a large amount of ion-exchange resin having radioactive contaminants is produced. The present invention thus provides a method of treating a chelating agent solution having radioactive contaminants, which can significantly decrease the amount of the chelating agent solution having radioactive contaminants, and which, when an ion-exchange resin is used, can significantly decrease the load on the ion-exchange resin without producing a large amount of ion-exchange resin having radioactive contaminants.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for recovering a target material including using an adsorbent such as activated charcoal, the target material recovered in a continuous manner, as well as a method and an apparatus for recovering a solvent based on such a method and apparatus. The adsorbent for the target material is rotated to move the adsorbed material in direction of centrifugal force while the target material is attracted to the adsorbent. The excess target material is detached from a peripheral edge of the adsorbent by centrifugal force. The detached material is recovered by a recovery device provided in corresponding relation to the adsorbent.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for decontaminating a substance contaminated with radioactivity, in particular, shot blasting grit contaminating with radioactivity. The method comprises: contaminated substance washing the substance to be decontaminated with chelate liquid; draining the chelate liquid; raising the temperature of the substance to a level not lower than the boiling point of a solvent by means of hot air; supplying the solvent to the substance and rapid by vaporizing the solvent; removing the remaining chelate fluid liquid by the force of the vaporization and draining and drying the substance.

Abstract: A method of effectively decontaminating a substance contaminated with radioactivity, in particular, shot blasting grit contaminated with radioactivity, and a decontaminating apparatus which makes it possible for a single apparatus to perform all of the decontamination processes without moving the contaminated substance from one apparatus to another for each process, thereby realizing reduction in the installation space and achieving an improvement in operational efficiency. The method comprises: decontaminating a contaminated substance by washing it with achelate liquid; draining the chelate liquid; raising the temperature of the substance to a level not lower than the boiling point of a solvent by means of hot air; supplying the solvent to the substance to result in rapid vaporization thereof; removing the remaining chelate fluid liquid by the force of this vaporization and draining the same;and drying the substance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for inhibiting corrosion of an existing steel material built in an inorganic material by applying an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt, an aqueous solution of a water-soluble silicate compound and a cement composition having corrosion-inhibiting effects on the surface of the inorganic material.
