ABSTRACT:
A process for in-drum drying of liquid radioactive waste includes sealing a shielded container by placing a plug in a central opening formed in a lid of the container. The plug is removed from the opening and a filling adapter having an outside diameter that fits the opening is inserted into the opening. To measure the fill level a sensor is inserted into the filling adapter and protrudes from a free end of the filling adapter into the interior of the container. Liquid radioactive waste is poured into the sealed container and vapors are vented from the container, through the filling adapter. The liquid radioactive waste is heated in the container with a heater. A filling adapter for in-drum drying of liquid radioactive waste includes a rectilinear, preferably cylindrical steel casing with end regions, an outer periphery, a flange protruding past the outer periphery at one of the end regions, at least two connection points at another of the end regions, and a filling line extending from one of the connection points through the steel casing.
