Abstract

Proposed is a fines removal apparatus installed on a radioactive liquid waste granulator, the apparatus including: a body unit fastened to an outlet provided on the radioactive liquid waste granulator and configured to receive the granulated radioactive waste by an operation of a first opening/closing valve, the radioactive liquid waste granulator being configured to manufacture concentrated liquid waste and to manufacture granulated radioactive waste by drying the concentrated liquid waste. an air supply unit provided on one side of the body unit and configured to spray air to the supplied granulated radioactive waste at regular periods, thereby scattering and separating fines contained in the granulated radioactive waste; and a reprocessing unit provided in a vacuum state on an opposite side of the body unit and configured to allow the scattered fines to be transferred to the radioactive waste granulator along a transfer pipe by vacuum pressure.
