During the world-round trip from June to September in 1959, the author observed the recent tendency of the treatments of radioactive liquid wastes in Europe and U.S.A. The conclusions are as follows:
(1) Low level wastes (<10
-4μc/m
l) is mainly treated by the chemical coagulation, quite economically.
(2) The evaporation method is applied to medium and high level wastes and the methods of coagulation and ion-exchange are used as auxiliary treatments.
(3) It is urgent to settle the best procedure to treat high level wastes.
(4) We must be careful to adapt these foreign technics directly for our treatment, because we have different and complicated conditions,
i.e. narrow territory, dense population, many calamities and special sensibilities of people hating radioactivity. We must acquire more budget for these sorts of plants and equipments in order to assure our coming progress in atomic age.
