Melting apparatus for melt decontamination of radioactive metal waste

A melting apparatus for melt-decontaminating radioactive metal waste so as to allow the metal waste to be recycled, the melting apparatus comprising:

• a melting furnace comprising a crucible into which the metal waste is input, and an induction coil wound around the crucible to melt the metal waste using a current induced by electromagnetic induction, the induction coil having a hollow hole in which a cooling fluid flows;
• a high frequency generator applying a high-frequency current to the induction coil;
• a ladle supplying molten metal, from which slag has been removed in the crucible, into molds;
• a bogie disposed adjacent to the ladle so as to be movable in a horizontal direction, the bogie being provided with the molds, each of which forms an ingot using the molten metal supplied thereinto by the ladle;
• a cooling unit cooling the cooling fluid and circulating the cooling fluid along the induction coil;
• and
• a dust collector provided in the melting furnace, the dust collector filtering out dust and purifying gas generated while melting the metal waste, before discharging the gas.
