Abstract
A process for treating radioactive sludge waste wasted in a nuclear power plant comprises the steps of pulverizing the radioactive sludge waste into dry powder which is combustible, burning the powder into ashes, and pelletizing the ashes. The radioactive sludge waste including granular ion-exchange resins, powder resins, filter sludge, etc. is reduced in volume by subjecting to combustion.
