中国在高放废物处理技术上取得突破，实现核工业发展的里程碑China makes breakthrough in high-level radioactive waste disposal technique, achieves milestone in nuclear industry devt 放射性液体废物处理设备：radioactive liquid waste disposal equipment 高放废液玻璃固化：glass bodies consolidated from radioactive waste

 

China's first high-level radioactive liquid waste disposal equipment, capable of melting waste into glass, has been officially put into use in Guangyuan, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, on Saturday, making China one of the few countries in the world to have acquired such a technique.

Chinese experts believed that the technique could have been a better option for Japan to dispose the nuclear-contaminated Fukushima wastewater, but Japan "clearly does not want to pay the bill." 

The project was approved by the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA) in 2004 and was designed jointly by China and Germany. The first batch of glass bodies consolidated from radioactive waste were rolled out for evaluation on August 27, and successfully passed the tests with all relevant technical indicators reaching international advanced levels.
