Abstract: An induction melting furnace having an asymmetrical sloping bottom. The melting furnace includes: an induction coil member provided on the melting furnace so as to melt waste contained in the furnace by vitrification; a bottom unit provided in a lower part of the melting furnace, the bottom unit asymmetrically sloping downward in a direction toward a glass discharge port that is formed through the bottom unit; and a cooling member integrated with the bottom unit. Due to the asymmetrical sloping bottom of the furnace, waste in the furnace can be completely melted and can be easily discharged to the outside and, accordingly, the time and cost required to treat the waste are reduced and this improves work efficiency when treating the waste. Further, due to the insulation material, the melting furnace can be protected from electric damage that may be caused by electric arc.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for simply and safely preparing, using a direct synthesis process at room temperature, a radioactive methyl iodine (CH3131I) tracer for use in evaluating the ability of impregnated activated carbon to adsorb radioactive organic iodine according to ASTM D 3803 (Standard Test Method for Nuclear-Grade Activated Carbon), in which the tracer can be directly synthesized by mixing radioactive sodium iodide (Na131I) with methyl iodine (CH3I) at room temperature under reduced pressure, thus shortening excessive synthesis time and decreasing the probability of radiation exposure due to leakage of volatile material during the distillation.

Abstract: A molten glass discharging device provided in the bottom of a melting furnace of a waste vitrification apparatus so that the device can control the melting or cooling of a molten material. The molten glass discharging device, which is provided in the bottom of the furnace and controls discharging of a molten material, includes: an induction heating unit (110) having a discharging passage (10) along a discharging port formed in the bottom of the melting furnace; an induction coil (120) provided outside the induction heating unit (110); and a cooling unit (130) supporting the induction heating unit (110) and having a cooling conduit through which a cooling fluid circulates. The device can realize repeated discharging of the molten material by induction heating or cooling of the induction heating unit. Further, even when glass is adhered to the discharging port, the adhered glass can be easily discharged from the furnace.
