Abstract
A processing system for radioactive waste is composed of an adjusting tank having a sampling port, a solidification processing system, and a package inspection apparatus, and a package, of which inventory per a package has been exactly grasped, is prepared by solidification of the waste with the processing system after determining radioactivity of the waste by measurement before the solidifying process. In accordance with the present invention, data on radioactivity before and after preparation of package of waste become clear, and management of each package at transportation and intermediate storage of the packages is facilitated.
