Processing and disposal of solid waste

R&D efforts (Application development linked to plant applications and actual use)

Ongoing projects

Research and Development of Processing and Disposal of Solid Waste(Project of Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Management)
Summary

 Based on the prospects of processing/disposal method of solid waste and technology related to its safety presented in FY 2021, further possibilities for more waste volume reduction shall be examined, and creation of options for processing/disposal measures and their comparison and evaluation should be conducted with promoting characterization to establish a waste stream that are suitable for features of solid waste. Proceed study on specific management of the solid waste to present appropriate measures as a whole.

Action items
  1. Characterization
    (1) Acquisition and Management of Analysis Data, etc.
    (2) Enhancement of Efficiency of Characterization
  2. Storage / Management
  3. Processing / Disposal
    (1) Processing technology
