Glass melt sample collection system

Abstract

Provided is a sampling system which collects a portion of molten glass generated in a melting furnace of a radioactive waste vitrification facility for vitrifying radioactive waste as a molten glass sample. A sampling system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure collects a portion of molten glass generated and discharged from a vitrification facility, which includes a vitrification furnace and a vitrified solid mold and vitrifies radioactive waste, as a molten glass sample. The sampling system includes a molten glass sampling device, wherein the molten glass sampling device may include: a sample receiving unit receiving the molten glass sample discharged from the vitrification furnace; a transfer pipe connected to the sample receiving unit and transferring the received molten glass sample; and a sample solidification mold connected to the transfer pipe and solidifying the molten glass sample into a sample solid.
