Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a waste package of radioactive waste containing particles of radioactive waste material of low modulus of elasticity, particles of radioactive waste material of high modulus of elasticity, and a solidifying agent in which the particles of radioactive waste material of low modulus of elasticity and the particles of radioactive waste material of high modulus of elasticity are fixed in an almost uniformly dispersed state. According to this invention, the radioactive waste generated from nuclear power plants can be greatly reduced in volume and also a waste package of radioactive waste with high strength and excellent water resistance can be obtained.
