Solidified product of radioactive waste for disposal thereof

Abstract

Abstract A thin film of a solidifying material (2) such as an alkali silicate is formed on the inner surface of a container (1), and glass fiber (3) is laid over said film of solidifying material so that the glass fiber is partly embedded into the surface of the layer (2) of solidifying material. The surface (4) of the glass fiber layer is roughened and a water-impervious material (5) is attached to the roughened glass fiber surface (4) to form a water-impervious layer. A solidifying material and radioactive waste are packed in the thus formed container and solidified, thereby forming a radioactive waste-encapsulating solidified block having a water-impervious layer.
