Abstract (en)
A method for the packing and sealing of radioactive or toxic waste materials 1 for the purpose of environmentally safe and long term storage or disposal. In the method the waste 1 is compressed, compacted or solidified and placed into a metal container 111 which is closed by lid 112 and sealed hermetically in a packing apparatus 21. The container 11 is transferred to an encasing apparatus 22 wherein the metal container 11 is enclosed in a container of plastics material 12. After removing the air from said plastic container by means of vacuum apparatus 222 the container 121 has applied thereto a lid 122 which is sealed by a welding or fusion process using an induction welding apparatus 221. In an alternative embodiment the metal container 11 is dipped into a liquid plastics material to produce a coating sealing the container. <IMAGE>
