ABSTRACT:
Particulate radioactive wastes are packaged for storage until radioactivity decays by fastening a tight mesh fabric bag in a barrel or other suitable storage container, filling the bag with a mixture of radioactive waste material and a non-radioactive liquid material, and then solidifying the non-radioactive liquid to encapsulate the radioactive waste. The tight mesh weave of the fabric bag acts as a barrier to the particulate radioactive material but not to the liquid. A portion of the liquid thus flows through the bag to form a protective layer between the bag and outer container wall. The remainder stays in the bag and mixes with the radioactive particulate. Solidification of the non-radioactive liquid produces a monolithic solid having a protective layer of a solidified non-radioactive material covering the entire surface area of an immobilized mass of radioactively contaminated particulate material.
