Abstract
The invention is concerned with radioactive waste pellets in solidified form in which radioactive waste pellets including light waste pellets having specific gravities smaller than that of a filler are solidified with the filler in a container. A cover disposed in an opening portion of the container is provided with filler injection ports which do not permit the passage of the light waste pellets. The invention is further related to a process for forming radioactive waste pellets in solidified form by injecting the filler through the filler injection ports formed in the cover, so that the radioactive waste pellets and the filler are uniformly solidified.
