Conventionally, precipitates generated from waste liquid treatment in uranium smelting are not considered low-level radioactive waste, so after being neutralized, they are sent to a tailings dam (storage pond) in the form of slurry and stored. was. In addition, the residual liquid from uranium ore leaching is also neutralized, then buried in the pit again, covered with the necessary soil, etc., and treated.

However, in such a conventional stable treatment method for uranium slag or uranium smelting slag, in order to prevent the leakage of radioactivity from uranium slag or uranium smelting slag, a considerable amount of time is required even after mine operations have ceased. The disadvantages are that maintenance such as monitoring and reinforcement must be carried out over a long period of time, and that the cost for stable treatment increases and the treatment work is extremely complicated.

In this case, the relationship between the amount of cement stabilizer added and the magnitude of the compressive strength is a negative number relationship, and it is effective to add the amount of 10% or more based on 100% of the precipitate. It was also found that the appropriate water content ratio of the precipitate is 300% or less, and that if the amount of clay mineral added is in the range of 5 to 10% based on 100% precipitate, there is no effect on compressive strength. . Furthermore, it has been found that the appropriate amount of clay mineral added is 5% or less from the viewpoint of hydraulic conductivity. Incidentally, below F' shows a formulation example in an unexamined example.

Mixture table of precipitate and uranium ore leaching residue Accordingly, as a result of processing the precipitate and the mixture of the precipitate and uranium ore leaching residue in each of the above embodiments within the range of each of the above embodiments, radioactive The leachability of the nuclide is 1O-
It was found that the nuclide was well immobilized, with a value of 9 JLCi/ml or less. In addition, regarding water retention,
PF4 was a value of 2 to 4.6, which means that the plant root hairs were outside of the available available water, and it was possible to prevent the transfer of radionuclides by the plant root hairs through the water medium. By providing the stabilization treatment layer according to the present invention, the amount of Rn gas released is reduced to about 1715 compared to, for example, a 1 m thick shale covering layer. Therefore, by providing the stabilizing layer according to the present invention on the surface of the magical disposal site,
It has become possible to significantly reduce the amount of Rn released. Furthermore, it is possible to stably process uranium slag or uranium smelting magic without installing a uranium magic dam, making it possible to significantly reduce the cost of processing work.
